Taking The Drop For Easter Seals (GALLERY)

Windsorites are rappelling off the side of Caesars Windsor today for a good cause.

Easter Seals Development Officer Afshin Ali says the charity's Drop Zone event has raised $1,500 for local families.

"You're raising funds for children with physical disabilities, for mobility and communication devices, which are much needed. Families take a big hit, financially, when they do need these things."

Ali says 15 thrill-seekers helped raise this year's donation.

This is Drop Zone's third and final year in Windsor, as Easter Seals is looking to put together a new event in 2016.
