Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up is a fundraising initiative created by the American Foundation for Children with AIDS. Climb Up events are a series of self-directed charity challenges designed to help African children with AIDS.
How Do Climb Up Charity Challenges Work?
Groups and individuals alike are invited to help us fight the African AIDS epidemic by creating their own charity challenges, recruiting sponsors and donating the proceeds to the American Foundation for Children with AIDS, an African AIDS charity whose primary mission is to help children.
Climb Up Charity Challenges Come in All Types
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete with a goal to get fit, a church group looking for a way to help African children or a family in search of an enjoyable outing that benefits an AIDS charity, Climb Up offers challenges of all types. This year we offer:
Create your own charity event in your state any time between June 26 and July 5. Typical activities include climbing, hiking, running or cycling, but don’t hesitate to get creative. Remember all proceeds go toward combating the African AIDS epidemic.
Raise the most money (min. $250) and win an awesome Osprey pack!
Run, climb, hike or cycle wherever you happen to be—without geographical boundaries. Use your challenge to get fit and help African children with AIDS.
