Join Us in the Fight for Clean Air — One Step at a Time As President and CEO of the Greater Oak Brook Chamber of Commerce, I’m proud to support causes that bring our community together and uplift the health and well-being of our neighbors. That’s why I’m personally inviting you — our chamber members, local business leaders, residents, and friends — to take part in a powerful event: the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb, happening right here at the Oakbrook Terrace Tower on March 8, 2026. This isn’t just another stair climb. It’s a chance to make every step count in the fight against lung disease, one of the leading causes of death in the United States. The funds raised support lifesaving research, advocacy, and education that directly benefit those battling asthma, lung cancer, COPD, and other serious respiratory conditions. More than that, the Climb is a testament to the strength and spirit of our community. Whether you join the Greater Oak Brook Chamber's team, form a team with your coworkers, challenge your friends, or climb in honor of a loved one, your participation sends a message: the Oak Brook and Oakbrook Terrace region stand together for clean air and healthy lungs. Let’s show what our business community can do when we rally for a common cause. Join me and many others on March 8th, and let’s take every step toward a healthier future. See you at the top!
