Stone Creek's 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb

Together, We Climb.

September 11, 2001, was a day of unimaginable loss, extraordinary courage, and profound unity. Twenty-five years later, Stone Creek Club & Spa will bring our community together to remember the lives lost, honor the first responders who answered the call, and support the families of those who continue to serve.

For 24 consecutive hours, participants will take turns climbing on two stair-climbing machines. The first 24 hours recognize the around-the-clock commitment of first responders, whose service never stops. A 25th hour will be climbed by local EMS, firefighters, and First Responders to mark the 25 years that have passed since September 11, 2001.

This is not a race or competition. Every minute climbed is an act of remembrance—and every dollar pledged helps support a first responder family.

Every step carries a memory. Every minute makes an impact.

Every Minute Makes an Impact

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, Stone Creek Club & Spa invites first responders, members, and community supporters to come together for a 24-hour memorial stair climb benefiting First Responders Children’s Foundation.

From 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 10 through 11:00 AM on Friday, September 11, two stair climbers will remain in continuous motion as our community climbs to remember, honor, and give back.

Each participant must register for at least 30 minutes and pledge or raise a minimum of $1 for every minute climbed.

30 minutes = $30 minimum pledge

  • When

    Thursday, September 10, at 10:00 AM through Friday, September 11, at 11:00 AM

  • Climbing Intervals

    Participants register for 30-minute intervals. Longer climbs may be reserved by selecting consecutive time slots.

  • Capacity

    Two stair climbers are available during each interval. Once both spaces are reserved, that time will close.

Your Climb. Your Commitment.

Participants must reserve a minimum 30-minute interval and pledge or raise at least $1 for every minute they register to climb.

All proceeds from participant pledges and community donations will benefit First Responders Children’s Foundation.

How It Works

  • Choose Your Time

    Select one or more available 30-minute intervals between 10:00 AM on September 10 and 10:00 AM on September 11.

  • Calculate Your Pledge

    Your commitment is based on every minute reserved. One 30-minute interval carries a minimum $30 pledge or $1/minute.

  • Arrive and Check In

    Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled climbing time. Check in at the table in the lobby.

  • Climb in Remembrance

    Climb at a pace that is appropriate for you. This is a memorial experience, not a race. Participants may dedicate their climb to a specific individual, group, or first-responder agency.
