Hey New York! It's time to join the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in the fight to cure blood cancers while also getting the chance to climb up and down the iconic steps of Citi Field, home of the New York Mets! On May 18, you'll experience a high energy behind-the-scenes journey through one of the most beautiful ballparks in the nation. You'll climb up and down the steps of the upper tier, run the concourses and finish strong! You gotta believe that this is the best way to see Citi Field AND help LLS save lives while taking on the challenge of a lifetime!
Secure your bib now for only $40, as registration increases to $50 as of April 14th. Your registration includes a pre and post-climb festival, snacks and drinks, official timing, a finisher medal and the chance to raise essential funds for LLS and join the elite Summit Club for even more rewards! Join us at Citi Field as we CLIMB. CONQUER. And CURE.
Once you're checked in on Climb Day you'll get to explore Base Camp, with fun activities for climbers of all ages. Your assigned Climb Time wave will then be led to the upper deck concourse with your team and fellow climbers from your wave. 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 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 the route, and across the finish line to get your medal. All along, a custom high-powered music soundtrack complete with motivational messages plays through the stadium's massive PA system. It's an experience like no other, baseball fan or not, and you don't want to miss it!
Introducing our first official 'Little Big Climb' for our small but mighty participants.
We welcome all ages to climb with us. This designated route gives kids the opportunity to take part in our premiere climbing event. Sponsor a fun activity that brings the whole family together at base camp pre- or post-climb.
All Little Big Climb participants should register as individuals (contact bigclimb@lls.org to add them to your fundraising team) and must have a parent or guardian with them at all times.
As a Climber, we challenge you to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission.
In 2022, Climbers raised an average of $600 through their efforts. So set your goal and get started today!
Join our Big Climb Facebook Group to connect with fellow climbers from across the country! Members share why they climb, fundraising tips and training tips as we prepare to step up to take cancer down.
