Firefighters and their families, friends, and community members from across the nation gathered at historic Lambeau Field on September 22, 2018, to participate in the sixth annual 9/11 MEMORIAL STAIR CLIMB. More than 2,700 people participated. This year’s event raised more than $135,000, with all proceeds benefiting the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), and has again been recognized as one of the largest stair climbs in the nation. 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb participants had the opportunity to ascend the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center while wearing a badge with the name and photograph of one of the fallen firefighters. At the 78th floor, the highest floor reached on 9/11, each climber rang a fire bell in honor of the individual on their badge. “Since its inception, the Pierce Manufacturing team has been grateful for the opportunity to cosponsor the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb along with the Green Bay (WI) Metro Fire Department,” said Jim Johnson, president of Pierce Manufacturing. “Not only is it an incredible day of remembrance and reflection, supporting the NFFF helps provide access to critical resources for survivors and co-workers of fallen firefighters.”
