Though some debts can never be truly repaid, the dedication of those who served can always be honored.

Each year, the  National Fallen Firefighter Foundation (NFFF) pays tribute to the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives so that others could live on Sept. 11, 2001 with the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Event.

This year, the local NFFF event will be held at TQL Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 9, sponsored by Cintas.

“At Cintas, we’re proud to partner with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to honor and remember the 343 FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives to save others on Sept. 11, 2001,” said Crystal Hooper, philanthropy & community relations specialist. “Support through our Stair Climb event provides assistance to the surviving families and co-workers of these fallen heroes.”

During the event, each participant pays tribute to a FDNY firefighter by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. The individual tributes not only remember the sacrifice of a FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others.

Registration is now open for individuals and teams that would like to participate. Cintas is also accepting donations on behalf of NFFF for those unable to join the stair climb.
