🇺🇸 DIFFERENT STAIRS. DIFFERENT BATTLEFIELD. SAME MISSION. 🇺🇸

This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. We invite you to join Warriors Always Rise as we climb to remember the 2,977 lives lost, honor the heroes who answered the call, and raise money to continue supporting our Veterans, First Responders, and their families.

🚒 9/11 MEMORIAL STAIR CLIMB
📅 Saturday, September 12th
⏰ 7:30 AM
📍 Charlotte Motor Speedway
5555 Concord Pkwy S, Concord, NC

You don't have to be a firefighter. You don't have to be a Veteran. You just have to be willing to climb.

Every step remembers someone. Every registration helps someone. All proceeds benefit Warriors Always Rise and our mission of supporting Veterans and First Responders.

A huge thank you to our corporate sponsors Food Lion, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and Hunt Brothers Pizza for standing behind this mission.

🇺🇸 Honor the Fallen. Support the Living.
Different Stairs. Different Battlefield. Same Mission.
