9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Event

25 Years of Remembrance is an event to honor the lives lost on 9/11 and raise funds to assist first responders and their families through support for Building Homes for Heroes.
We will begin the morning with a remembrance ceremony at 8:59am, (9:59am ET) the exact time the first tower collapsed. A moment of silence to honor the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001.
Immediately following the ceremony, join us inside the Pecan Square Arena for our Memorial Stair Climb. Firefighters, police officers, residents, friends, and families are invited to climb as many steps or flights as they wish in remembrance of the brave first responders who selflessly served. First responders can participate free of charge.
Hillwood Communities residents and the general public can participate in the stair climb with a $25 donation as their registration fee and selecting a 15-minute activity window. Those who cannot participate in the stair climb, can still make a donation of any amount through the GoFundMe page.
