WFU to host ‘Climb to Remember’ to honor Sept. 11 victims

Wake Forest ROTC ‘No Fear’ Battalion is sponsoring its annual “Climb to Remember” in remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The event will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 11 from 6 to 8 a.m. at Wake Forest’s Allegacy Stadium on Deacon Blvd. in Winston-Salem.

ROTC cadets from Wake Forest and Winston-Salem State universities and Salem College will join with community volunteers and first responders to honor victims of the attack.

Twenty-three years ago, two planes struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center; one plane crashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed onto a field outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks killed 2,977 people from 93 nations.

Participants climb one stair for each life lost. Each section is clearly marked and water stations are available.

No registration is required.
