To create a world without blood cancers, every step counts. When you register for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Big Climb, you're helping us change lives along the way! From Boston to Houston to Seattle, our community is climbing iconic buildings and arenas all over the country to give patients, survivors, and families the support they need at every step of a diagnosis.
You can also join our nationwide virtual climb from anywhere and show up for blood cancer patients right in your neighborhood!
Registration is FREE for all participants up to 30 days before your event. After the 30-day mark, a $50 contribution will apply to go toward the costs of putting on Big Climb events. This contribution is separate from your fundraising total for event participation and incentives.
Once you're checked in on Climb Day, you'll get to explore Base Camp, with tons of activities for climbers of all ages. Your assigned Climb Time wave will then be led to the base of the First Flight at the entrance gates to the stadium. After a brief but powerful Opening Ceremony where you'll hear the stories of why we climb, your wave will head out (and up) into the stadium, where route arrows and cheering volunteers will make sure you know your way.
During your Philly Big Climb experience, you'll see the names and faces of those who have survived a blood cancer diagnosis, and those in our community who we've lost. That motivation will keep you going all the way through your climb route, onto the field and across the finish line to get your medal. All along the way, a custom, high-powered music soundtrack complete with motivational messages will be playing through the stadium's massive PA system. It's an experience like no other, soccer fan or not, and you don't want to miss it!
As a Climber, we challenge you to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission. Every step you take helps support blood cancer patients through their diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
Eager to race past your $150 fundraising minimum? We're here to support and reward you every step of the way.
Note: Children ages 8-17 who choose to participate in our main climb have a reduced fundraising commitment of $50. Be sure to select this option during registration.
Big Climb Philly is one big, powerful family filled with returning climbers and first-timers, too! Join our Big Climb Facebook group to connect with your fellow Climbers here in Philly and across the nation. It's the best way to get insider training tips, fundraising ideas, and be ready for Climb Day at Subaru Park!
