Dade County Assoc. of Fire Fighter Charities
of the Climb! This marks a big year for us, and I feel that not only
can we break last year’s record but truly ‘climb up’ the rankings
as one of the highest grossing organizations in the country.
What makes this year’s climb unique is that we have decided
to add a little ‘昀椀re’ (no pun intended) to the climb by having a
“Battle of the Battalions”. Check your email for the Fight for Air
Climb ASOM with all the details on prizes and recognitions being offered by the county and Local 1403. There will be a trophy
presented to the winning battalion, along with prizes for the top
fundraising 昀椀re昀椀ghters and top stations (by shift).
We are now less than 3 months away to reach this year’s goal
of $20,000 and with this being the 20th year, we’d like to start
trending #20for20 ($20 for 20 years). So how do you participate? It’s easy and remember you can always reach out to your
Climb Battalion Team Captain for any questions or refer to the
ASOM for all event details. Remember, this event is designed
for every type of climber, from beginners to competitive climbers.
Participants determine their pace and will also have the option
this year to choose how they want to climb… with or without
gear, air, or equipment.
Visit the link below to register under your battalion and start
fundraising TODAY. Some great news…. family and friends can
also use the code LOCAL1403 to waive their registration and
begin fundraising as well under your team. I, along with the
Charity Ambassadors and Battalion Climb Team Captains, look
forward to your participation for a day of fun, challenge, and camaraderie as we Climb for a Cause on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
