Hello All! We are squeezing MANY Announcements for our 2022 SA110 in this email. So please be sure to read them all! Registration is extended and STILL OPEN! Remaining spots are open to ALL... Firefighters, Law Enforcement, EMS, Military AND Civilian! And for you first responders, YES you may still get a tribute tag! Registrants get moved up the list as cancellations come through.

Use code 10YEAR for $10 off or SECRET$20 for $20 off remaining spots (while lasts for each code, and as we are 100% funded by registrations and donations and STILL 100% Volunteer run, we appreciate all those who have registered thus far! It takes a village, and every single individual, to pull off an event of this magnitude each year as we do, all thanks to your support!) IMPORTANT! TEN YEAR PARTICIPANT LIST! If you are a ten year participant, this being your 10th SA110 (including remaining with us during our 2020 Covid Virtual event year), we want to know and show our appreciation! Please email registration@sanantonio110.com with your name, category (firefighter, civilian, etc), and inform to add you to the TEN YEAR PARTICIPANT list!

(just to make sure it goes through you can also include sa110reg911@gmail.com AND THANK YOU!!! If you missed out on last year's 2021 9/11 20th Anniversary Collector Challenge Coin... Last year as a thank you for continuing to pay tribute to our fallen with SA110 we gifted our tribute climbers that day with a (super awesome quality) special 20th anniversary coin. A special free thank you gift we had special made just for our participants paying tribute with us. Unfortunately we had many who missed out on that. But no worries!... Because we will have our remaining coins for sale at this years event! And even a special "combo" pricing when purchasing with our shirt! Along with some other great items as well possibly. While supplies last so be sure to get them fast! Sponsorship deadlines are approaching! Sponsorships can be received all the way up to Sept 1st however to receive full Silver or Gold BENEFITS (banners, T-shirts), we need to at least receive email confirmation and logos ASAP. Also, new benefits for ALL sponsorship levels: Cards may be placed in all participant packets and also you may "set up" a table/tent/etc at our Afterparty event held at Alamo Beer immediately following the climb. Speaking of... Don't miss our annual After party! Once again held at Alamo Beer immediately following the climb. We will also again have our annual pint glasses with this year's 2022 design on it available there. Find our afterparty event on FB to get all the details we will post there soon. We have live music, great beer and wine specials, food trucks, really cool raffle items (including a custom Axe by MV Fire) and lots of other great things included to celebrate the success of our 10th year of SA110! Practice Climbs are open at the Tower! Same rules apply as prior years... Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9am-3pm. Closes at end of month (no climbs Sept 1st on). First responder SA110 registered participants only. Must sign in at desk and may be asked for proof of registration for this year's SA110 as well as proof of profession. Above all, remember that this is a PRIVILEGE granted to us by the tower, not a RIGHT... Please be courteous to all Tower staff! (We owe them a lot for all they do for us!). Unfortunately it must be stated that breaking of any rules may ban you from the Tower and therefore SA110. Tower has the right to refuse access as they need.) HOTEL DISCOUNT! Once again Hilton Palacio Del Rio is offering discounted rates for our SA110 participants for 9/10 - 9/12. On the river and walking distance from the event, can walk through Hemisfair Park (across the street from hotel) right to the Tower. See email for booking link. LODD Tributes: If there are any Texas LODD (line of duty deaths) that would like to be paid tribute to on our honor board during opening ceremony please visit our website documents page and download our LODD tribute request ASAP! We appreciate EVERY dollar! Fundraising options: We have been so busy we didnt get to set up our fundraising platform yet for individual fundraisers. We will try to do so soon and send an email and post on FB if/when we do! Of course any type of fundraising is greatly appreciated! Feel free to set up your own fundraisers (other climbs raise $/floor or step... there are 910 steps per tower climb, we do two). Many platforms are available online. And also we accept donations directly through our website via our "donate" link and have your donors mention your name. Also, we haven't had any donation checks on event day in years like we used to. Agencies or individuals can do their own fundraising and simply bring us a check on event day, dropping it off and the T-shirt/donation table! As always, top individual fundraiser and top fundraising agency/department will get a big shout out on event day and on social media and special Thank You package mailed out to them post event! If you'd like, and to help, email in your total fundraised donation amount by 9/10 to director@sanantonio110.com AND THANK YOU!!!! We are still fully funded by donations and 100% volunteer run. That's an amazing accomplishment, especially for an event of our magnitude, and speaks volumes of you all! If you didn't catch our post.. This year's beneficiary is UTHEALTH HEROES Program. This program offers mental health support for our first responders. Including resources and even paid appointments for counseling and psychiatric care. We are very honored to help them. Proceeds from this years event (including donations and such) will go to this great organization. Please visit our website pages for info and/or to register or donate! (both appreciated!)

Registration is temporarily reopened with just a few tickets available!
Will close tomorrow, Friday 9/3 at 6pm. Or soon as they sell out (sooner). Spread the word! Thank you! As we mentioned, we are so very grateful that we did not have to cancel or go virtual once again. Unfortunately, the Tower of The Americas needed to withdraw as our venue due to the closed environment of the stairwell. Very quickly we had some wonderful people step up and start doing the work to find us a new venue. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to NEISD for donating to us Heroes Stadium! They truly made themselves Our Heroes for us all to still be able to join together to pay tribute to our fallen as is so important to us! It is an open-air venue and so we will be able to hold our full capacity as well! And yes, some cancellations came through and so, as promised, we will be opening up some tickets here soon! We have a limited number though so please be sure to watch for the announcement and grab one! Thank you all for your continued support. Your SA110 Committee (all volunteers) are working hard behind the scenes to pull this all together. And we look forward to seeing you very soon! 08/22/21 Press Release below:
As some of you have discovered, due to the concern for the health and safety of participants, volunteers, and our community, the Tower Of The Americas is needing to pull out as our venue for this year's SA110.
So, WE NEED YOU! We need your help to assist in holding this year's event! We are working extra hard behind the scenes to look at all options for our event this year. We are NOT cancelled. The specifics however are still up in the air. And to coordinate every aspect of this SA110 we need to see about locking some things in ASAP (as in the next 2 days if possible). So, we are reaching out to YOU, our participants and community, who have so awesomely helped pull things through for us in other ways. We are seeking a new venue which would allow for our participants to still do the tribute climb together. Looking at possibilities for very large or open-air stadiums? We held an emergency meeting this evening and a list of a few ideas was compiled (in no particular order): Alamodome Alamo Stadium Heroes Stadium Blossom Stadium Gustafson Stadium AT&T Center Freeman Coliseum Mission Stadium We are asking for your help! If any of you, or those you know, may have connections in which can help speed this along, we could use your help! Venue would need to be willing to provide space for up to 1000 participants (preferred) or even the option of reduced participation (if needed, might be our only choice, no less that 343). And provide the location at little to no charge. Nearby or on-site parking is a must as well. Please send info, point of contact and referral, or have them contact directly (as we are in a major time crunch to be able to get everything organized as needed) to director@sanantonio110.com Please do not send info here to FB. And please, no "blind cold-calls" as we are already reaching out to places as such as able. We do need to lock down what our options are (full participation or partial) to know what we need to do (or mail out in time) to prepare! If we do not have at least contact with a willing venue within next few days we will need to switch plans again. We ask to please not send us any questions at this time so we can focus on what is at hand. We will announce to all via our social media and here on our website Updates page as well as by email once our plans are secured. www.sanantonio110.com Thank you for any assistance you can provide! Please share this with others to help us have full reach to our community ASAP! Thank you, YOUR San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb Hello all!
A few announcements/updates:
Per norm, Event T-shirts with this year's special edition 20th Anniversary annual design (done once again by American Fire Apparel) will be available at the event. Pricing this year (just like everything else, cost has increased) will be $25 for S-XL and $28 for 2XL/3XL. As always, PLEASE BRING CASH, if able, to speed the lines along! We will remind you closer to event day as well. Colector annual pint glasses will be available at the after-party for $10 filled with your favorite Alamo Beer and $1 off all refills. Well, that was a lot of information! We just want to get the info out to you all in as few of emails as possible. Event Day reminders will be sent out closer to event.
