Climb with Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth for cancer support.
Step Up!
When it matters, we climb together. Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth is inviting a limited number of community leaders to step up and take part in the Firefighter’s Stairclimb Challenge alongside Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth. Participants will climb 1,370 steps to the top of Calgary’s tallest tower, Brookfield Place, wearing firefighter gear (provided). Each participant commits to raising a minimum of $5,000 in support of Wellspring Alberta.
Challenge the Chief will kick off the main Firefighter Stairclimb on June 14, with a victor declared at the end.
