From the Organizer
Twenty-five years later, September 11 remains a day we remember not only for what our nation lost, but for the courage, service, and unity we witnessed in the days that followed.
The Clemson 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb gives our community an opportunity to come together in remembrance. Each step honors the lives lost, the first responders who answered the call, and those who continue to carry the lasting impact of their service at Ground Zero.
For a network built around service and connection, this is an opportunity to show up together and remember together.
UVAN invites our veterans, military families, community partners, first responders, and neighbors across the Upstate to join us.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We still honor. And we still show up for one another.
