343 FIREFIGHTERS. ONE LEGACY.

On September 11, 2001, 343 FDNY firefighters gave their lives while answering the call to duty.

We remember their names.

We remember their courage.

We remember their sacrifice.

We will never forget.

WHY WE CLIMB.

We climb because remembrance requires action.

We climb to honor the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We climb to recognize the courage of the first responders who answered the call.

And we climb to support the firefighters, families, and communities who continue to carry that legacy forward.

TAKE THE STAIRS. CARRY THEIR MEMORY.

Join us for a powerful day of remembrance, brotherhood, and community.

Whether you're a firefighter, first responder, veteran, family member, or community supporter, there is a place for you on the climb.

EVERYONE HAS A REASON TO CLIMB.

You don't have to be a firefighter to participate.

For some, it's a fallen brother or sister.

For others, it's a friend, a family member, or a firefighter who inspired them.

And for many, it's simply a promise to remember.

Whatever brings you here, you have a place on these stairs.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your community.
