The Stair Climb & Urban Hike is more than a fundraising event — it’s a community tradition that brings thousands of Angelenos together to strengthen neighborhoods in and around Downtown Los Angeles. On Friday, September 25, participants will climb the 75 floors of the U.S. Bank Tower in support of the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA’s free and low-cost programs for children, teens, families, and seniors living in under-resourced communities. Every dollar raised is invested directly into life-changing programs, including summer camps, youth sports, preschool, teen leadership, and family wellness initiatives. Not a fan of climbing stairs? Join the Urban Hike! This self-guided scenic walk lets you explore the city at your own pace, starting and ending at the same location as the Stair Climb. See your city from a new perspective! The day concludes with a vibrant Block Party featuring live music, sponsor activations, food, and a lively Beer Garden, creating opportunities for local businesses, cor
