![]() 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. 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!

Thank you all and we will "see" you very soon! Thank you in advance for your tribute and your truth in promise to never forget! So much to update!

First off, thank you to all who registered and stayed true to their promise to NEVER FORGET" and also supported your San Antonio 110! We GREATLY appreciate it! Registration for the 2020 SA110 is now closed. T-shirts are currently being printed and we plan to mail them out to all participants in the upcoming week. As well as everything you need to pay tribute with us. Please make sure your mailing address is correct in your Active registration as that is where we will be mailing all packets. Included in your packet will be the tribute tag of one of our fallen as well. Registered first responders will get the tags first. Then, as we didn't get quite enough to allow for all tributes to be paid by corresponding professions, the remaining tags will be distributed to EMS personnel, Military, and Civilians in order of registration date/time for precedence (at no extra charge). So don't be surprised if you get a tag even though not registered for it. We appreciate your help to ensure all of our fallen are paid tribute to! Keep an eye out for an email coming soon to all participants which will include a link to join us on 9/11 in a virtual Zoom room we are paying for everyone to join in together in. We will also be "broadcasting" all of the ceremonial aspects of the event there as well including, but not limited to, bagpipes, the national anthem, opening prayer, "last call" dispatch, and all of the bell tolls for our moments of silence/remembrance, corresponding with the timeline of 9/11/2001 events. Please, just as you would at the event, pause at these bell tolls for a moment of silence. Firefighters may activate their pass devices (distress alarms) after a pause of silence at these designated times (only). In the participant packets being mailed to you will be a bell toll card to assist you to remember these times. Also will be a tag and lanyard (for those receiving such), your annual T-shirt(s), and also a card with all of the tribute challenge options. There are FIVE different tribute challenges to choose from. Done with or without professional gear. Of course if you need to modify one of these challenges or have one of your own you would like to do, please feel free to. The point is, as always, to push yourself to ensure you pay a good tough tribute. And some of these options provided will definitely ensure you do just that! Remember, none of these challenges are done "for time" as pausing for moments of silence is required. We also want to thank those sponsors who stuck with us this year! 1000 Club of San Antonio and BCFS Emergency Management both returned as Gold Level sponsors and Columbia Southern University upped their contribution this year to a Silver! We thank you all for continuing to support your San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb! We have loved hearing on FB all the different ways you are finding to join together to pay tribute. SAFD ha arranged for their guys and gals to participate at their training academy. And Uvalde area participants are joining together at a local stadium to climb. Converse FD is doing the same! It's so cool to see so many finding ways to join together in camaraderie to do this. We also will be announcing a "video challenge" for all FD agencies. Submit your video by email ([email protected]) or on FB of your 2020 virtual SA110 and the best video will be our 2021 lead agency! We may also be setting up Crowdrise fundraisers for all of you who are interested. Again, we appreciate your continued support during these unprecedented times. We also uploaded to this website our most recent Patch List of patches we have for our patch board. If your agency is not listed and you would like to send us your patch please email [email protected] for mailing address to do so. Also, YES, our annual 2020 SA110 collector's pint glass WILL be available as well! We will keep everyone updated via FB and email regarding the details to get one. Alamo Beer, awesome as they are, will be offering these glasses starting 9/11/20 (filled with your favorite Alamo Beer of course) at their Alamo Beer location here in San Antonio through the rest of September, or until all sold. We will update on our FB page and via email once they sell out as well. Make sure your email is set to receive all of our emails (and not going to spam) for important info including your personal link to join us on Zoom on 9/11! Once again, be sure to follow us on FB for lots of updates and details to make this year's SA110 still great! ![]()
