How Do I Coordinate a 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb?
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation has created a detailed IAP to assist coordinators with planning a 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb. Specific components of this model will need to be modified in accordance with the individual local and venue, but the basic steps of planning are:
  1. Secure a venue in your city: Ideally, this is a high-rise building with an enclosed stairway, service elevator, and loading dock or covered area for staging.
  2. Market the events: Inform fire service organizations in your region about participating in the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb, and contact local businesses for sponsorship support.
  3. Register participants: The NFFF will set up registration and reporting for your event after you've submitted your event information.
  4. Stage the event: Order t-shirts and procure sufficient water for participants; ensure that logistical needs are in place; and coordinate set-up on 9-10.
  5. Run the event: On September 11, coordinate Command Staff and volunteers to carry out a safe, successful, and meaningful 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb.
How Does the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Support the
9-11 Memorial Stair Climb?
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) provides staff support for coordinators at all stages of event planning. The NFFF also coordinates online registration for 9-11 Memorial Stair Climbs, and provides extensive marketing assistance through their website and media contacts. In addition, the NFFF provides liability cover for these events.
How Do the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climbs Support the Work of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation?
The registration fees and donations received from the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb events are designated to honor the fallen firefighters that died on September 11, 2001. This includes providing assistance to the surviving family members and co-workers of the 343 firefighters who were killed on 9-11.

Stair Climbs also reinforce the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives of the Everyone Goes Home® program by promoting physical fitness and firefighter training. The Incident Command System in place during the event enables firefighters, officers, and command staff to practice skills needed during high-rise incident operations.
