Take on 26 floors in the heart of downtown Newark while making an impact for blood cancer patients and their families.
As you journey to the top, every step you climb helps fund life-saving research, patient support, and advocacy through Blood Cancer United. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by fellow climbers, survivors, caregivers, and supporters united by one goal: a world without blood cancer.
The Big Climb experience
Big Climb is more than a stair climb—it's an inspiring event that brings communities together to support blood cancer patients and families. From the opening ceremony to the finish-line celebration, you'll experience the power of a community united by hope, determination, and impact. Whether you're climbing a stadium, ballpark, or skyscraper, every step helps create a future without blood cancer.
Fundraise your way
Registration is free until 30 days before your event. Beginning 30 days before event day, registration is $50 and counts toward your fundraising minimum.
To climb, participants commit to raising at least $150 ($50 for youth ages 8–17) in support of Blood Cancer United. We'll provide fundraising tools, templates, coaching, and support to help you reach your goal and maximize your impact.
Reach higher and earn more
We celebrate every milestone because every dollar makes a difference.
Little Big Climb
Big impact for little climbers.
Little Big Climb gives kids the chance to join the fun with a shorter version of the climb but all the same benefits of taking steps toward a world without blood cancer.
