TRC Climbathon
Climb for a Cause.
On March 2, 2012, TRC will climb on board to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. Ronald McDonald Houses provide homes away from home for families who travel to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. The House in Durham is building a new addition that will help house nearly twice as many families each year, and TRC wants to support that effort!
We hope to raise at least $40,000 while flexing our climbing muscle to the max. And knowing the TRC community, we fully expect to raise much more than our goal!
Give Today!
Donate to the general Climbathon fund or support a specific team.

The TRC Climbathon will begin at 8 PM March 2, 2012 and end at 8 AM March 3, 2012. Yes, this is a 12-hour event. We are going to climb all night and have a blast doing it!
Caffeine and snacks will be available throughout the night for participants, and a competitors’ breakfast will be held immediately after the event.
Team Info
A maximum of twenty-four (24) 4-person teams will climb for 12 hours straight to gain as much altitude as possible.

After registration, teams must raise a minimum of $1,000 in order to compete at the event.
