Bar Change Fund Going on Tonight!!!!

Local Dillon Volunteer Fire Department, Fireman Chris Hall is competing in the LLS Firefighter Stair climb.

The LLS Firefighter Stair Climb is described on their website as:

THE WORLD'S LARGEST ON-AIR STAIR CLIMB COMPETITION. At 788 feet of vertical elevation, the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle stands as the second tallest building west of the Mississippi, and the tallest in Seattle. It takes 69 flights of stairs and 1,356 steps to reach the highly acclaimed Sky View Observatory overlooking the Emerald City. On March 8, 2020, over 2,000 firefighters from across the United States and around the world will ascend the tower to support the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Over the season, these inspirational men and women will raise funds for blood cancer research and patient services. This consistently sold-out event is open solely to career or volunteer firefighters who must complete this challenging course in full structural turnout gear, while on-air. Completing the climb is a physical triumph in itself, but is also symbolic of, yet pales in comparison to, the strenuous journey that blood cancer patients endure. As firefighters race to the top, they keep in mind that every step forward is representative of moving toward finding a cure for all those battling this terrible disease. In 2019, this group of phenomenal climbers brought in a record $2.9 million for blood cancer research and patient services. Now in its 29th year, this event has raised over $20 million for LLS.
