These fundraising events directly contribute to the effort to provide life-saving lung health research, patient education, and public policy efforts. Fight For Air Climbs empower you to challenge yourself physically while raising money for a cause that helps us all breathe better air and live healthier lives. 88 cents of every dollar raised by the American Lung Association goes directly to education, research, and advocacy.
By either registering on your own or with a team of family members, friends, or coworkers, you enter the Climb with a minimum donation of $30 and become eligible to climb the 40 floors contained within the Metropolitan Square skyscraper– that’s 856 stairs! You will receive an email before the event letting you know your assigned start time for the Climb.
By the day of the event, you must raise $100 per individual to do your part for the fundraiser. Climbers raise an average of $160 for the Fight For Air Climb, and those who raise $40 above the average become a member of the 40/40 club– which means your name will be displayed at the event. Donations must be received by March 20 to qualify.
