2025 City Center Memorial Tower Climb

City Center Security & City Center Management are hosting a tower climb in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

During the City Center climb, participants will climb or walk in the stairwells of the Bank of America Tower. Here they will climb to level 30 three times, then on the fourth trip up they will stop on level 20, which following this plan is the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. There will be various tributes to memorialize the fallen first responders including a local Pipes & Drum Band initiating the opening ceremony, a dedicated moment of silence recognizing the timeline that unfolded on September 11, 2001, and each of today’s heroes – our local first responders – will carry a name and photo of a hero who responded to the World Trade Centers.

Please note: This event is open to First Responders only (Fire/Police/EMS, etc.).

Additional Event Details:

There will be an opening ceremony beginning at 8:15 am.

Please arrive a minimum of 30 minutes prior to allow time to check in and participate in the ceremony prior to the climb.

Registration will open at 7:00 am at the base of the Bank of America Tower.

GROUP PHOTO: will be taken under the US Flag hung by the two FWFD ladder trucks at 8:00 sharp. An annoucement will be made by the event MC to help gather everyone together for the photo.

NOTE: Participants will be divided into two groups - North and South - as this will indicate which stairway each participant will climb. The lanyards worn will also indicate which stairway you're assigned to. Volunteers will be available to assist with questions about the climb.
