hoenix-area first responders, military personnel and supporters of public safety will spend the morning of Saturday, Sept. 10, honoring the 415 emergency workers lost on Sept. 11, 2001, by climbing 2,071 stairs — matching the amount in each building of the Twin Towers. The Tower Challenge will begin at 8 a.m. Sept. 10 at the Gila River Arena in Glendale. Proceeds from the annual event benefit the 100 Club of Arizona, a local nonprofit dedicated to serving Arizona’s first responders. Community members can register to participate at 100club. org/911tc2022.
“We won’t forget the men and women who have sacrificed their lives protecting us,” said Angela Harrolle, CEO of the 100 Club of Arizona. “Whether they died rescuing people at the World Trade Center in New York or making Arizona a safer place to live, our message to their families is that we see them, we understand their loss and we will never forget.” Each year, thousands of people across Arizona walk, climb and run stairs in remembrance. Firefighters in full turnout gear, police, military and bomb squad personnel march steadily alongside civilians of varying ages, abilities and backgrounds. There are even virtual options for those interested to participate who can’t be at Gila SEE 9/11 PAGE 6
