On Saturday, September 11th, First Responders from all over the state and country will once again join together to pay tribute to their fallen brethren of 9/11/01. Due to current conditions this year’s event will be held at an open-air venue, NEISD Heroes Stadium. To reach their goal of paying tribute to their fallen they will climb the stadium stairs up to four times to reach, and actually exceed, the height of the World Trade Center Towers in which our fallen heroes perished in. Tags for each of the 343 fallen firefighters, with their name and photo on it, will be carried by firefighter participants.
Tribute will also be paid to additional fallen first responders who perished that day; 70 tags will be carried by law enforcement officers for their fallen along with 9 EMS as well. Civilians will also be participating.
 
The San Antonio 110 is one of the largest 9/11 Memorial climbs in the country and world.

We have approximately 100 different agencies represented as participants this year, over 500 first responders participating along with hundreds of Military and civilians.
 
This year is especially important and solemn of a memorial as it marks the 20th Anniversary of 09/11/01.
 
*All guest and media attendees should have valid I.D. available at all times. No special check-in or passes are required for general press/media.
 
Also, really awesome event day shirts, designed by American Fire Apparel, will be for sale and donations accepted as well to assist the San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb with proceeds going to our chosen beneficiary this year, 100 Club of San Antonio.
 
We thank our amazing community for continuing to support our cause each year. This is our 9th year paying tribute to our fallen as the San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb.

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 [email protected]

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.

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:

• If you were a race for registration winner of either a swag bag or free registration you should have already received an individual email from our Registration/Participant Director. Please make sure our emails aren't going to your Spam. Especially for important updates leading up to the event.
• PLEASE send any cancellation requests or change of registration to [email protected] ASAP! If you are no longer able to attend or unable to do the tribute climb please let us know via that email so we may open those spots up to others! Also, we had a few civilians accidentally sign up for a tag in the FF 343 category. Please note that this is not allowed. Please contact us to make changes to your category if so so we may also properly assign those fallen tags. If registration makes this apparent by information provided we reserve the right to change your ticket or remove it as needed. Again, [email protected]
• 2021 Participant List will be uploaded onto our website soon to verify registration/participation. Also the updated Patch Board List is available online to ensure your agency patch is included on our patch board.
• If you missed out on registration this year (yes, we sold out FAST!) you MIGHT have an opportunity to still get in! If we receive cancellations we will announce the date and time of those tickets opening. They will be priced as our "Oops I Missed It" pricing of General Registration for $50. We will announce openings, possibly with short notice, via email and on our social media pages and website. So please be sure to be following us on social media and ensuring our emails are not going to your Spam box.
• WE NEED SECURITY TEAM VOLUNTEERS! Looking for another way to attend and assist this year's SA110? We need Security Team volunteers. Preferably Law Enforcement and/or Military (active or retired). But willing to accept others who may be good at taking on an authoritative role. Please contact [email protected] and note it is for Security Team and your LEO/Military affiliation if any. 
• We still need Sponsors! Of all levels! Please see our website sponsor page to view and download our sponsor packet. www.sanantonio110.com 
  We specifically still need a new Official FOOD SPONSOR (Gold level sponsor benefits included)! Freddy's is not able to assist us this year and we need someone to take their place. NO PARTIAL FOOD DONATION PLEASE. We need someone to be able to provide food for a minimum of 12-1300 people (max 1800) and do the prep and serving at the event! If needed, can be ANY business/group/organization willing to even just purchase and cook up some sausage wraps (as example) for everyone. Please spread the word to anyone who may be willing to assist us with this! Must have info ASAP as our normal deadline for Silver/Gold benefits (logo placement) is August 15th... we are holding off a few extra days to extend our sponsorship opportunities. Please download our sponsor form online and/or email [email protected] (and if food sponsor also [email protected]) ASAP to expedite!
• Don't forget our awesome after-party as well, the SA911 Brotherhood Brew Bash (Blood, Sweat, & Beers) held at Alamo Beer (Lamar St.) immediately following the climb (about 11am). As always, our annual collector's pint glasses will be available, limited quantity available so be sure to get yours early! And possibly some other SA110 merchandise there as well. We also have some surprise items being donated that may be raffled there as well. Find and follow on FB please. 
• Some have asked if we are still happening, with current Covid situations. Yes, we are! We continue to hope that the city allows our participants to make their own participation and attendance decision. Please be sure to be receiving our emails and following on FB for any updates or possible changes! We will have precautions in place at the event and ask everyone to please wear a mask, bring and use hand sanitizer (will also be posted throughout event grounds), and social distance as able. If you have had a fever, cough, or any other symptoms we ask you to please send in your cancellation asap and stay at home! Also, covid testing is available at many pharmacy/clinic locations for free. We recommend testing prior to event if able. Do not attend if you feel sick, have symptoms, or have tested positive for Covid. We will send out more information, requirements, and precautions as we get closer to the event. Other precautions will as well be in place as best able at the event. If you are a participant and not comfortable attending due to the current situation PLEASE CONTACT [email protected] ASAP TO CANCEL so that we may offer your ticket to another person wanting it (we have MANY requests!).
• Also, in reference to above, we ask that everyone LIMIT/ELIMINATE GUESTS at this year's event! Please ask your guests to instead celebrate with you at the open-air grounds at the after-party held at Alamo Beer. If our numbers get too crowded at the event WE WILL TURN NON-PARTICIPANTS AWAY. This is to protect our first responders and participants. Thank you for your understanding. We are just very grateful to have the opportunity for us all to do this once again this year.
• Just an addition note in advance: We will also be enforcing a new "Clear Bag" policy. As always, we ask to limit bags (we understand some gear bags are inevitable) as much as possible. Please leave purses, etc, locked in your vehicle when able. If bringing regular bags/purse onto grounds we ask to do so with a clear plastic bag (when able) to speed security at entrance to the grounds along. More information/specifics will be sent to participants via email prior to event.
• Again, please stay tuned to our website and social media pages for all updates and announcements!

If you would like another way to support this year's SA110, but not able to sponsor, please remember that donations are always very appreciated! You can donate by visiting our website at www.sanantonio110.com and or donating cash at the donations/merchandise table at the event and/or afterparty! Our proceed beneficiary this year is 100 Club of San Antonio. Remaining proceeds, should we have, will go towards a beneficiary donation check to them proceeding the event. 100 Club of SA has provided so much help to our first responder community over these last few crazy years, and prior. 
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!
