Join us for one of the most unique events in Tulsa and Oklahoma! This is more than your average 5k. This event takes people vertical as they attempt to climb many floors to reach the celebration at the top. Whether climbing for a winning time or simply to cross the finish line, this event is a great way to challenge yourself physically. We guarantee that all finishers will have a new found respect for their lungs.

Be Smart, Don’t Start
This school-based program is a unique opportunity for youth to create and illustrate tobacco prevention messages. Winning ideas are used to create a 30-second television public service announcement (PSA) to teach others about the dangers of tobacco use. Over 2200 elementary students (K-5) have been reached with this tobacco prevention program.
Breathe Smart, From the Start – Last year, we trained 27 facilitators to assist us in encouraging pregnant women to adopt tobacco-free environments for their families.
Counting on You…Responding to Kids with Asthma
This program is a fun and interactive designed for childcare providers and others that care for children with asthma. This program provides a general asthma overview, information on asthma medications and treatments and environmental asthma triggers. Last year, 72 childcare facilities participated in the program, and are actively engaged in creating an “asthma friendly” environment for the children they serve.
Freedom from Smoking (FFS)
This nationally recognized research-based program is highly successful in helping adults quit tobacco-for good. Over 40 tobacco cessation clinics were conducted by volunteer facilitators last year.
Oklahoma Asthma Initiative
The Oklahoma Asthma Initiative works in four main areas to impact asthma: reduced number of asthma related deaths; hospitalization and emergency room visits; school/work days missed and limitations on activity due to asthma.
Open Airways for Schools (OAS)
OAS is an asthma education curriculum designed for youth aged 8-11 with a diagnosis of asthma; this research based “best practice” program is highly interactive to teach children how to manage and control their disease. Over 30 schools will offer an OAS program this year to help their students learn to manage their asthma.
