Join Boss Services, Honor Credit Union, and local emergency responders for the 4th annual 9/11 Hero Climb, an event dedicated to remembering our fallen heroes and supporting our local Berrien County fire and public safety departments. On Wednesday, September 11th, 2024, we once again will unite with our community to honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who gave their lives on that tragic day.

The event will begin at St. Joseph High School Dickinson Stadium at 8:46 am, the same time the first plane struck the World Trade Center twenty-three years ago. Alongside first responders from our area's police departments, fire stations, and EMTs, we invite you to climb 2,071 stadium steps to symbolize the 110 floors and 2,071 steps to the top of the Twin Towers.

Can't participate in the climb? You can also show your support by running or walking our 5k, or opt to participate in our 1-mile event around the track.

The stair climb and all 5k events will be timed. While the 1-mile event will not be timed, we have this all-inclusive option to welcome walkers of all levels, wheelchair users, and those with strollers to unite to honor our fallen heroes and support this important cause.

Every step taken honors the memory of our fallen 9/11 heroes. Join us on September 11th at 8:46 am as we come together as a community to remember, honor, and support those who serve and protect us every day.
