Members and supporters of a local Firefighter Stairclimb team will solicit donations toward a fundraising goal for the 2024 Firefighter Stairclimb in Seattle, which benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The fundraiser will be held at the Centralia Outlets, near Nike and Columbia Sportswear, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 24.
The 2024 Firefighter Stairclimb will be held on Sunday, March 10, at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle.
The Riverside Fire Authority will represent Centralia as part of the 2,000 firefighters participating from departments across the United States and the world.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Firefighter Stairclimb is the world’s largest on-air stair climb competition and is held at the tallest building in Seattle, the Columbia Center. At 788 feet of vertical elevation, the Columbia Center stands as the second tallest building west of the Mississippi River. It takes 69 floors of stairs and 1,356 steps to reach the top. All 2,000 firefighters will climb in full turnout gear, weighing over 60 pounds, while breathing through their air packs.
