Fight for Air Stair Climb

Each year, too many lives are lost to lung disease and this is your chance to climb, raise money and make an impact in their honor. By joining the Fight for Air Climb, you are making the commitment to fight lung disease so everyone can breathe easier-including you!

The American Lung Association is holding our 3rd annual Fight for Air Climb: Scale 360 State Street building located at 360 State Street on February 8, 2014! Check-in begins at 8am, and the first climber takes off at 9am. Be sure to register during our early bird! The discounted registration fee ends September 3rd!

Registration Fee:
$15.00 Valid June 11-July 23
$25.00 Valid July 24-Sept 3
$35.00 Valid Sept 4-Oct 16 

Practice Climb Dates and Time:
January 9th           5PM- 7PM
January 25th        10AM-Noon

In addition to the registration fee there is a $100 dollar minimum of fundraising per climber. Remember fundraising can be easy (and fun!). Email, Facebook, and other social media websites are great ways to get the word out about donations.

Climbing isn't the only way to support our mission for healthy lungs and clean air; we always need volunteers! Don't let money stop you, volunteering is free, easy and is still so very helpful to the climb. Volunteers and climbers are both welcome after the climb to our after party at O' Tooles Irish Pub. 


Come climb, or volunteer and cheer on your friends and family as they take on the tallest building in Connecticut!

If you have any questions about the climb feel free to contact Danielle Ferrari, our Even Manaher via email at newhavenclimb@lungne.org or visit www.lungne.org and follow the links for New Haven.
