The Drop Your Boss charity event originally taking place tommorrow has been postponed due to poor weather.
The event will now be held on Thursday with about 20 people abseiling down one of Tauranga's tallest buildings to raise money for charity Foundation for Youth.
Among the 'bosses' taking part are the Bay of Plenty Times' Annemarie Quill and Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby.

The postponement was announced this morning, following a severe weather warning for Tauranga today. Heavy rain was also expected in the region tomorrow.
Drop Your Boss is aimed at finding the $150 per child it needs for charity Kiwi Can and the $7000 per pupil for Project K. It is hoped the process from the event will reach thousands of kids each year aged 5 to 15.
