6th Annual Tower Climb at One World Observatory
2022-06-05 | One World Observatory at One World Trade Center, 285 Fulton St, New York, NY, 10006, United States
On Sunday, June 5th, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation will hold its sixth annual Tower Climb at New York’s One World Observatory. We hope you’ll choose to participate in the event, and support the Foundation’s mission. The depth of emotion you will feel as you make your way up the steps of the building that symbolizes strength and hope, and the resiliency and invincibility of the American spirit will be beyond words. Looking down at the two reflecting pools that mark the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood, from the 102nd floor, is a sight to behold. The event pays special homage to all 9/11 heroes and specifically, FDNY Captain Billy Burke. On September 11, 2001, while responding to the attacks at the trade center, Captain Burke stayed behind to save others on the 27th floor of the north tower, while commanding other firefighters to get out of the building. He was already aware that the south tower had collapsed. He lost his life moments later. Captain Burke’s selflessness is legendary among those in his profession. Without support and generosity from citizens throughout the country, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation could not carry out our very important endeavors. The event is limited to 1,000 participants, so please register today to secure a position in this very meaningful event.

The Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk in New York City is held each year on the last Sunday of September. What began with 1,500 people in 2002 is now considered by many to be one of the top 5K runs in America. The event symbolizes Stephen Siller’s final footsteps from the foot of the Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, law enforcement officers, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Proceeds from the event support the Foundation’s programs, including those benefitting first responders, and catastrophically injured service members.
