Congratulations to NFTA's civilian and firefighter climb teams for participating in the "Fight for Air Climb Buffalo" that was held from June 11 - July 11.  Normally, participants climb the Main Place Tower in downtown Buffalo and raise funds to support The American Lung Association and healthy lungs. 

To ensure the health and safety of participants, this year’s event was held virtually and all activity was conducted on individual time.  Team members were able to run, walk, swim, bike and hike which was tracked through the Strava app.  Both NFTA teams raised a combined total of $3,633.  This was a proactive way to keep the event in play and raise money to support this great cause during the COVID-19 pandemic.
