Join us for the biggest kidney cancer event in Ohio as we celebrate and elevate those affected by kidney cancer Aug 17, 2024 from 9 am-1 pm at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland. Climbing is the symbolism we draw on in the fight against cancer, but you don’t have to climb stairs to love this event. We will highlight patients on the big screen (our real heroes), there will be updates on the latest kidney cancer research, a silent auction, awards for teams, fund raising for kidney cancer, celebrities and lots of fun for all ages. All funds raised for this event are to benefit Cleveland Clinic
Location: Wolstein Center, Cleveland, OH (can park in the South Garage 2101 E 21st St, Cleveland, OH 44115) Race check-in 30-60 minutes prior to event time. Same day registration is possible at the race check in location. Parking is available around the stadium, $4-$6. The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Transit Center is next door.
Date: August 17th, 2024, Race Start at 900 am, more competitive/racing climbers will go first.
Purpose: We want to create a community that celebrates and elevates those affected by kidney and raise money for kidney cancer research. This year we want to raise $81,800 (one dollar for each American diagnosed with kidney cancer yearly) to fund kidney cancer research at Cleveland Clinic. We also have a goal to register 818 participants, each representing 100 kidney cancer diagnoses in the US per year. Read about how past donations have funded scholarships and advanced kidney cancer research.
