News Release

Clackamas Firefighters To Compete In Seattle Stairclimb To Support Blood Cancer Research (Photo) - 01/28/26

Clackamas Fire District firefighters will once again compete in the Blood Cancer United Firefighter Stairclimb on March 8, 2026, in Seattle, Washington. The annual event raises funds to support blood cancer research and patient services through Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society).

 

This year, 33 Clackamas firefighters will participate—the district’s largest stairclimb team in more than a decade. They will join firefighters from around the world in climbing 69 flights of stairs in Seattle’s tallest building, the Columbia Center, while wearing full structural firefighting gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), jacket, helmet, gloves, and face mask.

 

While the stairclimb is a physically demanding challenge, the heart of the event lies in its fundraising mission. To support the effort, Clackamas firefighters will host a community fundraising raffle and invite the public to join them in supporting both the stairclimb team and Blood Cancer United.

 

Fundraising Raffle Event:

 

Date: Sunday, February 1, 2026
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Location: Valley Public House
12960 SE 162nd Ave, Happy Valley, OR 97086

 

Raffle Details:

  • $1 raffle tickets (all proceeds donated to Blood Cancer United)

  • You do not need to be present to win

  • Raffle prizes donated by Starbucks, Ace Hardware, Stickmen Brewing, Starcycle, Orangetheory, Killer Burger, and more

Community members are encouraged to attend, purchase raffle tickets, and help Clackamas Fire firefighters make a meaningful impact in the fight against blood cancer.
