The annual New York City Memorial Stair Climb hosts over 400 first responders as they climb a skyscraper at the site of September 11, 2001 attacks in memory of the 343 FDNY, 37 PAPD, and 23 NYPD members killed on 9/11. Also memorialized in the climb are the hundreds of first responders who tragically continue to die from 9/11 related illnesses. While all participants climb in full gear, the most important item they carry to the top is an honor tag with the name of a 9/11 first responder who was killed on the day of or who died after due to a 9/11 related illness.
The primary focus of the New York City Memorial Stair Climb is honoring the 9/11 first responders. In addition, each year, climb organizers choose a 9/11 related beneficiary and mount a fundraising campaign for that organization. Climbers are not required but are encouraged to fundraise. Since 2015 the climb has raised over $350,000 for a variety of organizations benefitting firefighters, police officers, EMT's and military personnel affected by 9/11.
