SEPTEMBER 11:

As we approach the 21st anniversary of 9/11, our chapter would like to highlight the?Tunnel to Towers?foundation (https://t2t.org/). The organization honors firefighter Stephen Siller who strapped 60lbs of gear on his back and raced on foot through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on September 11, where he lost his life bringing others to safety.

The foundation provides mortgage-free homes to our nation’s injured veterans and first responders, as well as provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and Fallen First Responder families with young children. We appreciate any donations to this amazing cause!
