Why Does Frontline Source Group Climb the Stairs at Big Climb Dallas?
Published on: Feb 28, 2023
Updated on: July 13, 2026
Frontline Source Group takes part in Big Climb Dallas, a stair climb up Bank of America Plaza in downtown Dallas that raises money for blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. The event benefits Blood Cancer United, the organization formerly known as The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Being an active part of our community is a real part of the culture here, not a line in a brochure.
What is Big Climb Dallas?
Big Climb Dallas is a stair climb held in downtown Dallas at Bank of America Plaza. Participants climb roughly 1,500 stairs, around 70 flights, from the ground floor to the top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. Teams register, raise funds, and climb together, with timing bibs for those who want to race it and no obligation at all for those who simply want to finish.
It is a straightforward event with a straightforward purpose. Every dollar raised goes toward blood cancer research and toward the patients and families living with a diagnosis right now.
Who does Big Climb Dallas benefit?
The climb benefits Blood Cancer United, which is the current name of the organization most people still know as The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The organization announced the name change in August 2025. The reason for it is worth understanding: there are more than one hundred types of blood cancer, and a great many patients have a diagnosis that is neither leukemia nor lymphoma. Myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms all sit under the same umbrella. The new name is an attempt to make clear that the organization is there for all of them.
Founded in 1949, it is the largest global nonprofit focused on blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. It funds research worldwide and provides free information and support services to patients and families. You can learn more at bloodcancerunited.org.
Why does Frontline Source Group participate?
Being an active member of our communities is part of the culture at Frontline Source Group, and has been since I founded the firm in Dallas in 2004. We are a Dallas company. Our headquarters is on Main Street downtown, a short walk from the building we climb. The people who take part in this are our own recruiters and staff, and many of them are climbing for someone specific.
That is really the whole reason. Blood cancer touches an enormous number of families, quietly and without much fanfare, and an afternoon of aching legs is a small thing to trade for research that might shorten someone else's worst year. We show up, we climb, and we come back the next time.
How can you take part or support the climb?
Big Climb Dallas is open to teams and individual climbers, and you do not need to be an athlete to do it. Registration, current event dates, and team fundraising pages are published by Blood Cancer United at bloodcancerunited.org. If you would like to join or support the Frontline Source Group team for an upcoming climb, get in touch with us at frontlinesourcegroup.com/contact.html and we will point you to the current team page.
If climbing is not for you, donating to a climber is just as useful. The stairs are the fun part. The funding is the point.
What else does Frontline Source Group do in the community?
Community involvement at Frontline is not a single event. It is an ongoing part of how we operate as a Dallas-headquartered business, and it sits alongside the work we do every day placing people into jobs across North Texas and nationwide.
