Climbers Raise Nearly $430K in Downtown Milwaukee for Lung Health

This morning, more than 1,100 people raised nearly $430,000 at the 2024 Fight For Air Climb Milwaukee, locally presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The event supports more than 744,000 people living with lung disease in Wisconsin.

Climbers of all skill levels raced to the top of 411 E. Wisconsin Center to raise awareness and money to fight lung disease through research, education, and advocacy.

“Thanks to the determination of our supporters and climbers we raised $430,000 to help ongoing efforts to end lung cancer and lung disease in Wisconsin,” said Megan Cordova, executive director, American Lung Association. “We are very grateful to everyone that came out to support lung health and so proud of the funds raised.”

The Lung Association looks forward to next year’s Climb event and continuing its commitment to improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
