The 343 Memorial Climb is a
fundraising event hosted by the Fallen Heroes Family Support
Fund. We are raising funds for the families of fire fighters
who have been killed or injured in the line of duty. We
support organizations that provide grief counseling for the
spouses and children of fallen firefighters as well as help
with bill paying and college scholarships.
This year’s funds will support the
efforts of the Fleetwood Memorial Foundation and the Texas
State Association of Fire Fighters.
The 343 Memorial Climb is a day of
fun for the whole family!
Come join the public stair
climb for people of all ages and abilities. Climbers
will follow a marked path up and down the stadium steps
which will take approximately 45 minutes and will begin at
12:30. There will be an alternate route for anyone with a
physical handicap. There is no entrance fee, but we do
ask that you collect pledges and bring them to the event.
(Click on the
register tab to sign up for the public climb.)
After that you can cheer on your local heroes to victory in the
fire fighter relay competition. Fire fighters from all over the
Metroplex will be competing in full gear for first and second place trophies. The teams will race on designated flights of stairs located around the stage area.
The relay will begin at 1:00p.m. and will continue until all teams have raced. (Click on the
register tab to sign up your fire department team or you may email us at info@343memorialclimb.com and one of our volunteers will call you to help get your team registered.)
Your childcare needs will be taken
care of at the event. Children’s Courtyard will be on-site
offering free childcare while you enjoy the activities.
Please be sure to check their box on your registration form.
There is no minimum donation to attend. Bring what you have or can collect! However, there will be prizes awarded to the top money raisers. If you would like to donate online, we can now accept Visa and Mastercard. Just click on the Donate link above.
We will have some special guests this
year. The ladies from the 2009 “Smokin Hot In Texas” Female
Fire Fighter calendar will be on hand to sign autographed
copies of the calendar. Proceeds from the calendar sales
during the event will go to Texas Burn Center and the 343
Memorial Climb.
We will see you at Pizza Hut Park on
September 7, 2008!!
