The Firefighters Benevolent of Davie, in partnership with Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, will present the second annual Rock The Climb 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at The Guitar Hotel on Friday, Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m., commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This powerful tribute honors the heroes who lost their lives, supports survivors, and uplifts families forever impacted by the tragedy.
The second annual memorial climb brings together first responders, veterans and community members to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11 and recognize the courage and sacrifice of those who responded in the aftermath of the attacks. Participants will ascend 110 stories, representing the height of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives that day.
“We climb not just to test our limits, but to carry the memory of the heroes who gave everything on Sept. 11th; every step ensures their sacrifice is never forgotten.”, said Erik Schwarz, President of Firefighters Benevolent of Davie.
“Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood is proud to once again stand alongside the Firefighters Benevolent of Davie and our community to honor the heroes of Sept. 11,” said Randy Morton, president of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. “As we mark the 25th anniversary, Rock The Climb is a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifice and unity that emerged from that day. We are honored to provide a place where first responders, veterans and community members can come together to remember those we lost and ensure their legacy is never forgotten.”
Rock The Climb will begin with an opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m., followed by a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., marking the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center. The memorial stair climb will begin at 9:30 a.m.
Registration is $75 in advance and $100 on the day of the event. Registration includes participation in the stair climb, access to DAER Dayclub, a finisher medal, commemorative T-shirt, food and beverage, and a challenge coin.
