“Climbing
the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center not only honors
the sacrifice of an FDNY firefighter but also symbolically completes their
heroic journey to save others,” said Nick
Pickens, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Cintas Fire Protection
Division. “It’s an honor to support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation
in remembering the sacrifices of all those affected by the tragedy of 9/11.”
Cintas

Stair Climbs provide direct support to families of fallen firefighters
and support programs of the FDNY.

the heroism and ultimate sacrifices made by firefighters on September 11,
2001.
