Thank you from the bottom of our lungs!

Our Fight For Air Climb presented by KIA of East Hartford is designed for every type of climber, from beginners to competitive climbers.

The 2024 Fight For Air Climb Hartford marked an extraordinary day, made possible by your generous support! We loved climbing to new heights with you back at Hartford 21.

Your efforts continue to make a difference and help take the mission of the American Lung Association to new heights. We will see you in Spring 2025 for our 17th annual Hartford Fight For Air Climb.

      Why We Need You in the Fight

      In March of 2020, the American Lung Association launched a $25 million initiative to end COVID-19 and defend against future respiratory virus pandemics. At the same time, we're continuing our advocacy work to support clean air and redoubling our long-term commitments to lifesaving research.

      Over the last 12 years, the Climbers have raised more than $71 million to support the mission of the American Lung Association.

      Join us. Because Every Step Counts and every step makes a difference.
