About
Support our mission to honor the heroes and victims of September 11, 2001. Contributions collected through this event will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing mortgage-free homes to the families of fallen first responders and military heroes, building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, and ensuring that the legacy of sacrifice and service is never forgotten.
Every donation, regardless of size, helps continue the Foundation’s commitment to honoring America's heroes and supporting those who continue to serve.
About the event
25th Anniversary of 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb & Challenge
Join the Waycross Fire Department as we honor the heroes and victims of September 11, 2001, on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11.
This event is more than a fitness challenge—it is a day of remembrance, reflection, and service. Participants will climb, run, walk, and push themselves in tribute to the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians who lost their lives.
Whether you participate individually or as part of a four-person team, every step is taken in honor of those who answered the call.
We Climb So They Will Never Be Forgotten.
