What: Join hundreds of firefighters, public safety officers, military personnel, and civilians in the region's only memorial stair-climb event. In tribute to the 403 fallen 9/11 heroes—343 FDNY, 23 NYPD, and 37 Port Authority—participants climb 110 flights of stairs, the same number as in the Twin Towers, each bearing the name of an Emergency Responder lost on that day. Set against the stunning waterfront backdrop of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, proud hosting sponsor, the event offers a moving space for reflection and remembrance. After the climb, participants are invited to recoup, recharge, and relax together at the resort, enjoying bites, beverages, and camaraderie.
Why It Matters: This commemorative event brings together the community in remembrance, while raising funds for FirefighterAid, a local 501(c)(3) supporting firefighters and families affected by line-of-duty injuries and tragedies.
Register & Donate: Registration is open—participants of all ages are welcome, with pricing tiers and fundraising goals in place. Plus, volunteer opportunities are available to help make this moving event possible.
