Inaugural New Jersey 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb: honouring heroes in support of National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, US
The New Jersey community is coming together to honour the brave heroes of September 11, 2001, with the inaugural New Jersey 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. This heartfelt event will take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at the iconic MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Participants and observers alike are invited to join in this unique tribute, with all proceeds benefiting the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).
The NFFF’s mission is to honour and remember America’s fallen fire heroes, to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives, and work within the Fire Service Community to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries.
The stair climb is more than just a physical challenge; it is a moving remembrance of those who selflessly served on that fateful day. Participants will ascend the equivalent of 110 stories, symbolising the height of the World Trade Centre, while paying homage to the firefighters and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
David Russell, president and principal of Fire and Safety Services, expressed the significance of this event, stating, “The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment of our firefighters and first responders. It’s our duty to honour their legacy, and through this event, we not only remember them but also support the families left behind. Together, we can ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.”
“As we gather at MetLife Stadium, we invite participants of all ages and from all walks of life, first responders, families, friends and community members, to lace up their sneakers and join us in this meaningful climb. Whether you choose to climb, cheer or volunteer, your presence will make a difference.”
“The event will feature not only the climb but also a morning filled with community spirit, guest speakers and more. Together, we can foster a sense of unity and resilience, honouring those who protect and serve our communities.”
“Let us stand together as a community to honour our heroes and support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Join us in this solemn yet uplifting journey as we remember, reflect and rise together.”
Registration to climb will open in June. This is not a race but a meaningful way to remember and honour the Fallen’s bravery.
