StonyBrook University Hosts 1st 9-11 Stair Climb

DATE: OCTOBER 25, 2014 LOCATION: KENNETH P.LAVALLE STADIUM TIME: 9:30AM-4:30PM

Come and show honor and support to the fallen firefighters that gave their lives to save others!

Each participant pays tribute to a FDNY firefighter by climbing or walking the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. Your individual tribute not only remembers the sacrifice of an FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others. This event is presented by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Your support helps assist the families of those heroes whose lives were lost.

This climb is open to the general public and firefighters. Interested in supporting/participating?
