9th Annual Veterans' Day Golf Outing
2016-11-11 | LaTourettte, Richmond County Country Club, and Silver Lake Golf Course, Staten Island, NY, United States
On Sept. 11, 2001, Stephen Siller, a 34 year old firefighter, took his final heroic steps as he ran with
his gear through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center to help save others. Thousands of
lives were saved that day, but this was not to be Stephen’s destiny. The NYC 5K RUN & WALK traces the
footsteps he took on that fateful day. In running along his path, the 15th annual run on September 25th
not only honors Stephen, but also his firefighter brothers and all those who perished on 9/11. On that tragic summer’s day, 9/11/01, Stephen had just completed his scheduled tour with the FDNY, and was traveling to meet his brothers to play a traditional round of golf. However, he decided to go back and help others, and unfortunately the innocence of an entire nation died that day.

Following the brutal assassinations of five Dallas officers in July, the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, established in honor of a fallen 9/11 firefighter, vowed to raise money to help take care of the needs–especially the housing needs–of the officers’ widows and affected families.
Representatives of Tunnel to Towers, accompanied by the widows of two slain NYC officers–NYPD Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos–journeyed to Dallas to offer their condolences and support.
Now, as a result of the Tunnel to Towers’ fundraising initiative, the organization is once again journeying to the Dallas Police Association Office to officially present the legal documents that signify the mortgages on the homes of Michael Smith and Brent Thompson have been paid off by Tunnel to Towers.
In addition, Tunnel to Towers is continuing to work with the family of Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa, and the families of officers Lorne Aherns and Michael Krol each have received $100,000 from Tunnel to Towers because there were no housing needs in either instance.
GUESTS:
John Hodge, COO of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation
Heidi Smith, widow of Police Officer Michael Smith
Emily Thompson, widow of Police Officer Brent Thompson
Kristy Zamarripa , widow of Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa

WHAT/WHY:
The mission of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, established in memory of a fallen 9/11 firefighter, is to honor and support the military and first responders. In keeping with that mission, Tunnel to Towers began a fundraising initiative in July following the deaths of the five Dallas police officers. Donations from every state, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Germany, and from performer Naomi Judd and NY Jet’s player Nick Mangold poured in.

3nd Annual Tower Climb at One World Observatory
2017-06-04 | One World Trade Center, 1 World Trade Center, NEW YORK, NY, 10006, United States
On Sunday, June 4th, the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation will hold its third 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 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 Stephen Siller 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.
