The NFFF 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb honored and remembered the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on September 11, 2001.
“Climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center not only honors the sacrifice of an FDNY firefighter but also symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others,” said Nick Pickens, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Cintas Fire Protection Division. “It’s an honor to support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in remembering the sacrifices of all those affected by the tragedy of 9/11.”
Cintas is a proud partner of the NFFF, and funds raised from the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs provide direct support to families of fallen firefighters and support programs of the FDNY.
Each year, the NFFF sponsors 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs around the country to remember and commemorate the heroism and ultimate sacrifices made by firefighters on September 11, 2001.
