The planning committee is now underway! And once again American Fire Apparel has created our 2018 annual design! It will be on our promotional material and on this year's event shirt once again.
Beneficiary application process is underway and we expect to choose our 2018 beneficiary very soon!
As always, registration will open July 1st!

We are very excited to have chosen Association Of Memorial Stair Climbs as our chosen beneficiary for our 2017 San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb event.
Association Of Memorial Stair Climbs helps to build, support, and ensure the sustainability of memorial climbs across the country. They establish and maintain best-practices to ensure climbs are held with the honor and respect our fallen deserve and provide the support and tools needed for new climbs to not only be created but also for the sustainability of these climbs. It is thanks to this great organization that New York City was able to hold its first 9/11 Memorial Climb in 2014.
This is a great opportunity for us all to say thank you and give back to an organization who so readily gives so much to ensure our fallen heroes are, and will continue to be, remembered!

Registration will open promptly at 8am July 1st.

This year's promo cards will be making their rounds to stations. Keep an eye out!

Our 2017 committee is beginning this years work on our SA110.
​Any interest in joining our committee please email [email protected]. We are still seeking, especially, a Sponsorship Director.

We are also still open for 2017 Beneficiary applications. Please visit our Beneficiary page for more info.

Registration will open July 1st!

• Photo ID is required for all participants to check in. Minors may check-in with parent/guardian. FF's and LEO's please bring proof of profession should you have it as random FF and LEO participants may be checked for validity (full issue gear may suffice).
• You must check-in and have participant (or Guest, see below) wristband to enter the grounds

GUESTS:

• All guests must check-in at the Guest check-in tables. Photo ID required for all guests to check in. Minors may check in with their parent/guardian ID. Guests will receive a guest wristband to enter the grounds.

All other participants must use second stair location for decent unless pre-authorized (elderly, disabled, etc).
• No photos/video are allowed inside stairwell until 3rd floor level.
• Shirts will be for sale at the event for $20 donation and bracelets for $5. Items are first come-first serve and we anticipate to sell out once again so please get them early. Proceeds from this years event will benefit Rotary Firefighter's Home.

A couple more things of note:

• This is NOT a race, nor competitive. "Racing" is not allowed nor will be tolerated. This is a memorial with moments of silence throughout the event. Please pause in your climb and on grounds during these times (bells will toll). Anyone caught racing will be dismissed from the climb.
• All civilians must particpate in the civilian group. Firefighters carrying tribute tags must enter first for time to complete their tribute for their fallen. Spouses must climb in their appropriate category for first climb entrance. (Dont worry, many people become friends this way and climb each year together. You may meet up with your spouse/partner between climbs.)
• Order of entrance will be Firefighters, Law Enforcement, EMS, Military, and then civilian.
• Please be respectful of firefighters during their climb. This is a heartfelt endeavor for all first responders and firefighters most of all. Please be careful to not be overzealous in your interactions with first responders during their climbs. (A firefighter paused or sitting in their climb may not be in need of your assistance as much as they are having a personal moment in which should be respected.) Although show of support is appreciated we ask that you respect being a part of something so personal to these men and women and allow them their space during their climb. Understand that for those in gear sweating and tiredness is part of their tribute to their fallen brethren. Posted volunteers are positioned in stairwell should you think someone may need assistance.
• We also ask that you please refrain from loud voices, singing, or disturbances during the climb.
• Please stay for the closing ceremony for our honor bell proceedings for our fallen.
• We also appreciate any assistance for "tear down". Please just find a committee shirt and ask how you can help!

We currently have over 500 first responders and over 50 different agencies attending our evemt.
Please feel free to bring your dept/agency patch for our patch boards. To see a current list of patches we have please follow the link and look at the Patch Board document.
