Step Up for the Brave: Stair Climb Challenge is a unique, vertical course where participants are encouraged to conquer their personal goal of in honor of the brave men and women who have served our country. Challenge yourself to complete the 1,000 step target as many times as you can. Participants have at least 1.5 hours to go around the course as often as they can. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female climbers and the top individual fundraiser.
Bring your friends and family to cheer you on! Fun is front and center with activities and games like Giant Jenga, Ring Toss, Cornhole, and more. We welcome people of all ages to come and join us at the Webster Bank Arena, with anyone 8 years old or older eligible to climb.
Proceeds from Step Up for the Brave will support Homes for the Brave‘s mission to help homeless individuals – almost all of whom are Veterans – return to productive and meaningful lives.
