Organiser's Description
On behalf of IAFF Local 574, we would like to invite you to Savannah's Second Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. This is a non-profit event that will be held on Friday September 6, 2024 at the Savannah Civic Center. The event will start at 6:00pm. We will begin with a brief opening ceremony followed by the start of the climb at 6:15pm. The stair climb will conclude once the last participant completes 110 flights. We will have mild refreshments and encourage participants to gather after the event at another location TBD downtown. First responders are welcomed to wear their gear or a weighted vest during the climb.The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is to honor and remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We lost mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles on that tragic day. First responders, military, civilians, children, and all of those affected by this heartbreaking event 23 years ago are encouraged to join us.
