Registration now open for 12th Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb

June 17, 2024

GREEN BAY – Registration for the 12th annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Lambeau Field, co-sponsored by Pierce Manufacturing and the Green Bay Metro Fire Department, is now open.

The climb is set for 9 a.m. Sept. 7, and is open to anyone who wishes to honor the 343 firefighters who lost their lives Sept. 11, 2001.

Registration fees are $35 per climber through July 6, $40 from July 7 to Aug. 10 and $45 from Aug. 11 until the day of the event.

Participants are encouraged to register in advance at piercemfg.com/climb.

All proceeds will benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).

Participants will climb the equivalent of 110 stories – the height of the World Trade Center towers – on the steps of Lambeau Field. 

Each climber will carry an honor badge bearing the name and photo of one of the fallen firefighters, symbolically completing the journey those heroes began. 

Upon reaching the equivalent of the 78th floor, the highest point reached by firefighters on 9/11, climbers will ring a fire bell in tribute.

Chief Matthew Knott of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department said the annual stair climb is a “heartfelt tribute” to the firefighters who sacrificed their lives.

“We are grateful for this opportunity to honor these heroes and to raise funds to support the critical work of the NFFF,” he said.
