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.
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.

register tab to sign up for the public climb.)
