Event Description
Join us on Saturday, April 27, 2019 to climb the tallest building in Virginia and raise funds to provide vital services to
children and families in Hampton Roads.
Over the past four years, Step Up for The Up Center has drawn more than 2,300 climbers, spectators and volunteers. Most importantly, your support has helped us to raise nearly $375,000 to provide critical services to children, families and people with disabilities across Hampton Roads.

We would love to have the Legion participate in the event in any way possible, from photos to climbing the stairs.

I"m waiting for a few questions to be answered by our contact with The Up Center and will continue to update this post. I have told Melissa some of our members have costumes with limited movement and/or visibility that would keep them from climbing the steps. We'd be there for interaction with the guests. Thanks!
