Each year, Cincinnati firefighters, first responders, and community members join the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.
This year’s event will be held in a new location, hosted by Cintas at the Cintas Center on the campus of Xavier University to support NFFF, on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 9 a.m.
During the event, each participant pays tribute to an FDNY firefighter by climbing or walking the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. The individual tributes not only remember their sacrifice, but symbolically complete their heroic journeys to save others.
There are three ways to participate: Individual, Team Captain or Team Member. Registration includes an event T-shirt and post-event lunch.
The NFFF 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb honors and remembers the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on Sept. 11, 2001.
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 Sept. 11, 2001.
Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to honor America’s fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate. Our mission is to honor America's fallen fire heroes; support their families, colleagues, and organizations; and work to reduce preventable firefighter death and injury.
