TD StairClimb for United Way 2021 - 25th Anniversary
Thursday, November 4
Virtual
Step up for your community
It’s the 25th Anniversary of the StairClimb for United Way! For the past 25 years, tens of thousands of climbers have showed their local love by climbing the steps at One London Place, StairClimb’s traditional location.
This year, TD Bank StairClimb for United Way Elgin Middlesex will continue to Step Up virtually to ensure no one is left behind. On November 4, let's climb virtually to raise money for programs and services in our community.

Option 2: Step Up Your Way for United Way
Come up with your own way to StairClimb! The StairClimb is open to everyone - step up in a way that works for you.
You and your team can choose an activity and start your training. Stuck for ideas? What about walking 472 meters - one for each step at One London Place, the StairClimb traditional location? Or switch it up (why not?!) and skip 472 times? Or shoot 472 hoops? Or 472 laps in the pool? Or 472 sudoku puzzles?
The possibilities are endless and completely up to you and your team! Don't forget to stay safe and physically distanced while you're out there.
Step 3 - Start collecting your pledges
Every dollar you fundraise helps our community recovery, and ensures no one is left behind.
Step 4 - Have fun!
