Drag Queen Loses Job, Jumps 32 Stories from Denver Downtown Building

Denver comedy drag queen, Nuclia Waste (pictured), after losing her graphic design job of 13 years, will jump off a 32 story building in downtown Denver. This may seem a little extreme but it's all in the name of charity. Nuclia was been asked to be one of the celebrity rapellers raising money for the Cancer League of Colorado at their "Over The Edge" fund raising event at Lincoln One Place.

"I am deathly afraid of heights and can’t believe I agreed to do this. Some people lose their job and become depressed. Instead, I've decided to jump off a building and raise money for the Cancer League of Colorado," stated Nuclia Waste. "It's better than standing on a corner with a sign that says, 'Will Drag For Food'."

The event will take place in the middle of rush hour on Friday, August 27 at 5 p.m. at the One Lincoln Park luxury high-rise in downtown Denver located at 2001 Lincoln St.

Nuclia is hoping to raise $3,000 through sponsorships for the big jump. Anyone interested in sponsoring her can make an online donation at overtheedge.blacktie-athon.com.
