We appreciate the support from this great fundraiser! Thank you!

🇺🇸 9/11 Tower Climb Challenge 🇺🇸
​All September long, we are stepping up to honor the victims and brave first responders of 9/11 with our 110-Flight Tower Challenge, and we need YOUR help to make a massive impact! 🇺🇸
​For EVERY person who completes the climb, The Zone will donate $5 directly to both the Virden Fire Protection District & the Girard Fire Protection District! 🚒🔥

​👇 HOW TO MAKE YOUR CLIMB COUNT:
1️⃣ Step Up: Complete 110 flights on the stair climber any day in September.
2️⃣ Snap It: Take a photo or selfie with your workout screen showing 110 flights.
3️⃣ Send It: Send your photo directly to The Zone page so we can verify your climb and lock in the $5 donation!

​💬 TAG A GYM BUDDY in the comments who needs to do this challenge with you! Who’s taking on the 110 flights first? 👇

Please keep former Girard Fire and Rescue member Justin “Fish” Adams and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he is recovering from a major head injury. Fish has been a part of the fire service family, and now it’s our turn to stand behind him.

Come out tonight for Hank Greenwalt and a cold drink. 🍻 We are accepting “tips” for one of our former firemen Fish.
