16 employees of Kelser Corporation headed to Connecticut’s tallest building determined to climb their way to the top of City Place 1. Every member of the Kelser Krew successfully muscled up 795 stairs in attempts to raise funds and spread awareness for the American Lung Association. The company is proud to be an annual participant in the climb and a longtime supporter of the ALA. This year the Krew was able raise $4,390.00 for the cause!
After 37 flights, climbers still had enough energy to join other participating teams at the Russian Lady for brunch, refreshments and prizes. Competitors came together to celebrate one another’s willpower and completion of the 2015 Fight for Air Climb - Hartford as well as the $126,958 the event raised to date.
