​
​The New York City Memorial Stair Climb was founded by and continues to be organized by FDNY firefighters. We are committed to hosting a memorial at Ground Zero for the right reasons and not for personal profit or political gain. Every individual on our staff is financially non-compensated and works solely on a volunteer basis. The same principle applies for every member of the 
Association of Memorial Stair Climbs who our organization is proud to be sanctioned by.
