Hundreds Expected to Scale the Strat Benefiting American Lung Association in Nevada
On Sunday, February 26, 2017, an estimated 800 athletes of all abilities will run or walk up all 1,455 steps to the 108th floor of the iconic Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas with the goal of raising money for the American Lung Association in Nevada’s mission of preventing lung disease and promoting lung health.
Registration for Scale the Strat 2017 is now open at http://www.ScaleTheStrat.com. Individuals and teams are encouraged to register early to secure their opportunity to participate. Online registration is $60 per person. In addition to the registration fee, each climber is required to fundraise a minimum of $150 for the American Lung Association in Nevada.
“Every step up this one-of-a-kind Las Vegas landmark moves us forward in the fight for healthy lungs and clean air,” said Kristina Crawford, executive director of the American Lung Association in Nevada. “This extreme stair climb raises critical funds to support research, local patient education and advocacy efforts.”
Now celebrating its ninth year, Scale the Strat is one of more than 50 Fight for Air Climbs held annually in prominent skyscrapers and other buildings across the United States. To date, these signature stair climbs have raised more than $43 million to support the American Lung Association.
