FAQ
How do my donations help?
With the generous support of people like you, the American Lung Association in Indiana saves lives by fighting for healthy lungs and healthy air. Today, our fight is more important than ever. Eighty-four cents of every dollar raised by our organization goes directly to education, research and advocacy.
What is Fight for Air Climb?
Fight for Air Climbs are unique fundraising events for the American Lung Association. They usually happen in prominent skyscrapers, stadiums or arenas and involve climbing multiple steps. Sometimes called a "vertical road race", teams and individual participants can use the event as a fitness target, as a race, with you challenging yourself or you racing against other people, or as a great way to be active and meet new friends. We know a lot about lung disease, but there is so much we don't know. Your participation will raise the funds necessary to provide life saving education, research and advocacy so we can beat lung disease and soon find a cure.
What time should I be there?
You will be assigned a start time between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm. The Friday prior to the event day, you will be emailed regarding your start time and they will be posted on the event website. Regardless of your start time, you are asked to arrive 45 minutes prior in order to check in, pick up your timing chip, and drop off any remaining donations.
Where should I park?
Street parking is available downtown Indianapolis for free on Saturdays. There is also a parking garage attached to the One Indiana Square building that will provide you with a convenient location.
What is a team captain?
Being a team captain is easy. Captains gather together a few friends or family members and encourage them to participate in the event together. Each team captain helps to coordinate the online registration of these friends as well as setting a goal for the team overall. Team Captains should encourage their participants to personalize their fundraising pages, send e-mails to other friends and family, hit their overall goals, show up to the event and have a great time. Some team captains organize gatherings before or after the climb for their team members, but this is not required. Sometimes the team captain serves as a representative at the annual event kickoff luncheon. In short, we need help to rally the troops and the best people for the job are always our team captains.
What do I bring with me on the day of the event?
Please bring any fundraising dollars you have collected and not yet turned in. You should wear comfortable, athletic clothes and shoes. Please leave valuables in your car. Most importantly, please bring a positive attitude and lots of energy!
Are spectators allowed?
Yes, spectators are welcome to wait for you after your climb in the Hospitality Room.
