The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Red Rocks Amphitheater brought approximately 2,000 firefighters and members of the community together to honor those who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 2001 and help support the families who survived them. The event, which is the largest stair climb
in the country, began with a ceremony at 8:46 a.m., the time the north tower was struck at the World Trade Center, and the climb began at 9:03 a.m., the time the south tower was struck, after a moment of silence and a performance of "Amazing Grace."
Participants walked nine laps around the amphitheater, which is the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers. The event raises funds for the FDNY Counseling Services Unit and the programs provided by the National Fallen Fighters Foundation.
