Before the event, all participants will be given the name of a Firefighter or Police Officer who died on 9/11 & for whom they will be climbing.  This will allow you to look up your hero & even bring their picture with you.  (List will be updated before event).

Event supports:   Very simply, we are raising money for our local Police & Fire and Frist Responders to provide them with necessary equipment that the City may not budget for but will help them in doing their job - keeping it safe for them while they protect our community!
