So much to update! For all updates and details follow us on FB for the most up-to-minute info and details.
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!
