2023 HONOR TEAM UPDATE
Great news! We have taken your feedback from previous years and want to recognize our Honor Teams with their preferred climb time. Our top 5 Fundraising Teams will be designated as Honor Teams and not only receive their preferred climb time but will each represent a significant event on 9/11. This year, they will be announced during opening ceremonies and can beat the heat as the first teams in the stairwell.
Honor Team events:
- Flight 11 crashes into WTC North
- Flight 175 crashes into WTC South
- Flight 77 crashes into Pentagon
- South Tower collapses
- Flight 93 crashes outside Pittsburg
- North Tower collapses
