Climb Higher in 2023

THANK YOU from the bottom of our LUNGS for being a part of the Fight For Air Climb Cleveland.

Together, we have raised over $80,000 to date but we need your help to reach our fundraising goal of $127,700. Let’s keep the momentum going! You still have time to fundraise through May 30th to support lung health, earn VIP perks for 2024 individually or as a team and earn cool FFAC swag!

Your support makes our work possible for the 1.7 million Ohioans living with lung disease. Every dollar raised supports the American Lung Association’s research, educational, and advocacy efforts.

      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.
