On Sunday September 11th, we will be conducting a Memorial Stair Climb at Stokes Stadium at 1:00pm. This will be commemorating the 343 firefighters who sacrificed their lives climbing the 110 flights of stairs of the World Trade Center to save the individuals inside the building during the horrific events of 9/11. To show that we will #neverforget, we will be climbing the Stokes Stadium bleachers approximately 25 times (the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs) and recognizing the men and women who gave their lives for so many innocent victims.
We will be meeting at the base of the Stokes bleachers and will begin at 1:00pm – it should take roughly an hour! Participants are encouraged to bring a weighted vest/backpack to simulate the gear worn by these first responders and to make this event all the more challenging.
