From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday, September 12, 2026, as our community comes together to remember the lives lost and honor the courage, service, and sacrifice of the first responders and everyday heroes of September 11, 2001.
Commemorative T-Shirts and Challenge Coins
Participants who register by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, August 31, 2026, will receive a complimentary 9/11 Memorial Walk T-shirt. You will be asked to select your shirt size during registration. This deadline allows our printer sufficient time to prepare the shirts before the event.
Event registration will remain open through September 12. However, because the shirts must be ordered and printed in advance, registrations submitted after August 31 will not include a T-shirt.
Every registered participant—including those who register after August 31—will receive this year’s commemorative 9/11 Memorial Walk Challenge Coin. This year’s coin is especially striking and will serve as a meaningful keepsake and a wonderful addition to any collection.
T-shirts and challenge coins are provided at no cost. Donations are entirely optional and are not required to participate or receive the commemorative items included with your registration.
Accessibility and Assistance
We want everyone to have the opportunity to participate. If you need assistance or an accommodation during the walk, please include that information during registration or email jeff@jeffcraig.com with any additional details that will help us support you.
We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your needs and help ensure the event is accessible, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone.
