From the Organizer
Step by step, we remember. Join us as we climb in tribute to the 343 firefighters, 72 police officers, 10 EMS personnel, and all who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. Each stair represents their courage, their commitment, and the lives they gave in service to others. Together, we climb to honor their legacy and support the mental health of those who continue to serve today.
All proceeds benefit The Bob Denton Safety Forces Support Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
