“We Climb, Because They Climbed”
The Climb
Participation in The Climb for civilians, as well as first responders.
The tragedies of 9/11 are something we will never forget as a nation. 411 first responders died on that tragic day trying to save those who could not save themselves.

The ultimate sacrifice was made by those fire, police, and EMS personnel and we climb because they climbed.
