Team Member Fundraising A Vertical Sprint to Help Others Breathe Climbing stairs makes for great exercise. But it’s an even more rewarding activity when you climb hundreds of stairs – all at once – to support a vitally important health initiative.
Stairs and eager volunteer climbers were the centerpieces of the Fight For Air Climb New York City, which was held in March 2023 at PENN1 Tower in the heart of Manhattan. The event is one of many that the American Lung Association holds nationally each year to demonstrate the importance of good lung health and to raise funds to help free the world from lung disease.
One hearty and committed climber at the event was Joel Horvath, who is a territory sales manager at Parts Authority’s Store #1 in Queens, New York. Joel joined with his wife, Diane, and others on Team Parts Authority to make the vertical trip up the 55-foot tower’s 1,210 stairs. Joel completed the challenging ascent at a very fast pace: He placed sixth
overall among 318 runners, and placed �rst among men in his age category. Parts Authority contributed to the American Lung Association on behalf of Joel and Team Parts Authority and also provided them with customized t-shirts (see photo) for the climb.
