Community Engagement Our buildings are part of our communities, and we are present and actively engaged to make them better places to live and work. Empire State Realty Trust is a fixture in the communities where we operate and we have developed strong partnerships to foster community engagement and leadership. Through our employee volunteerism and philanthropy efforts we can achieve our goal of strong communities and a healthy planet. In 2021, we aim to enhance our employees’ volunteer and community engagement opportunities with organizations they feel passionate about that align with our company’s mission to create healthy and resilient communities. The annual Empire State Building Run-Up challenges runners around the world to race up its famed 86 flights and 1,567 stairs, which some constitute as the ultimate test of endurance. In 2019, the event was sponsored by Turkish Airlines and powered by the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), the official charity of the run-up. As a world leader that helps people with physical challenges lead active and healthy lifestyles, CAF believes that participation in physical activity at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence, and enhances quality of life. In 2019, approximately 200 runners from around the world participated. The event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19.
