8th Annual 9/11 Memorial Mile Run/Walk and Local Hero Plaque Dedication

❤️ More Than a Memorial... It's an Investment in Our Future
Remember the Past. Honor the Present. Invest in Our Future.
Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, we invite our community to come together to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, honor the courage and sacrifice of America's first responders, and invest in the next generation of heroes.
Every dollar raised from this event provides scholarships for graduating high school seniors pursuing careers as firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, and paramedics.
Your participation not only honors the heroes of September 11—it helps inspire and prepare those who will one day answer the call to serve our communities.
