Event Description:
One breath and one stair at a time, the American Lung Association in Colorado and an anticipated 2400 Coloradans will climb Republic Plaza, the tallest building in the Rocky Mountain West, to take steps in our fight to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. This year's goal is to raise $500,000 for the programs and services of ALAC. Climbers will take off in 8-second intervals and climb 56 floors and 1,098 steps to reach the stunning views of Denver's skyline. Upon completeing the climb individuals will take the elevator back to the lobby for food, fun and interactive booths. Participants can climb as a team or as an individual, although everyone completes the full climb and must meet the $65 fundraising minimum. Prizes will be awarded in a variety of categories including fastest climbers, highest fundraisers, and best costume.
