We gather to pay our respects at the annual 911 Tower Challenge in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 and in support of all those who continue to serve our country, domestically and abroad. The World Trade Center’s Twin Towers each consisted of 110 floors (2071 steps), and each year thousands of people across Arizona walk, climb, and run the stairs to remember. This includes firefighters in full gear, police, military, and bomb squad personnel alongside civilians of various ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
Photographs of our fallen heroes line the stairs, and participants pause briefly to read the names in recognition of the sacrifice each individual made in the service of others. This powerful morning will reconnect you to the kindness, strength, and bravery exhibited on that dark day.
If you would like to attend the Glendale, AZ event on Saturday, September 7, 2024, please sign up here:Â Glendale 9/11 Tower Challenge
Proceeds will benefit the 100 Club of Arizona, providing support to the families of Police & Fire personnel seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. www.100club.org
