Eric Kipp, Special School District teacher, raised $1,165 and kept his word as he rapelled down the Hyatt Hotel in downtown St. Louis.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Kipp said.
Kipp thanks everyone who supported him by donating and cheering him on, and he can’t wait for next year.
Kipp’s nephew, Joshua Geisler, recorded and edited this video of Kipp rappelling down the building:

The buttons are passed down to the new STL Spark executive board members each year and they are encouraged to place them on their backpacks to help raise awareness about human trafficking. My sister, [Class of 2020 alumni] Grace Kirtley, started STL Spark when she was in high school and she would have people carry it on after she graduated, Mary said. Last year I got invited to join the board again with my sister, senior Patty Kirtley, and so weve been working on carrying her legacy a bit. Its become somewhat of a family project.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_5696-e1700061260167-600x400.jpg)
