Saturday, September 21st Firefighters and civilians from all over will be joining us in person and virtually to remember those lost on September 11, 2001.

We invite the entire community to join us at Hammons Field for our 12th Annual Springfield Area Memorial Stair Climb.

The Memorial Stair Climb is a commemorative climb to honor the 343 members of the Fire Department of New York who died on September 11, 2001. The 12th Annual Springfield Area Memorial Stair Climb starts at 8:30 am at Hammons Field on Saturday, September 21, 2024.

Over 343 participants will climb the stairs of Hammons Field multiple times for a total of 110 stories, representing the number of floors in the World Trade Center Towers. As part of registration the participants are asked to raise other funds for Supporting Heroes, National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, and Sunshine Brotherhood. Last year, registered climbers raised over $40,000 for the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation. All proceeds from the registration fees and fundraising donations will be divided among three nonprofit charities. These charities support the families of the 343 + who were directly affected on Sept. 11, 2001, and the first responders & families of those who serve in our local communities, suffering the same fate. These charities include the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, Supporting Heroes, and Sunshine Brotherhood Foundation. We invite you to join us; I promise you it will be a very moving experience. New this year, participants have the opportunity to participate in 3 Missouri based stair climbs! Clayton 9/11
Stair Climb on Sunday, September 8, 2024, Springfield Memorial Stair Climb on Saturday, September 21, 2024, and Missouri 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb in Jefferson City on Saturday, October 5, 2024. All funds raised will be distributed to the respective charities supported by each of these climbs.
