Annual 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb in Panama City Beach

On Saturday, September 10th, 2016, the Panama City Beach Firefighters will be hosting their annual 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb at Laketown Wharf in Panama City Beach. This unique fundraiser for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundations and other local memorial activities, pays tribute to the Firefighters; EMS, Law Enforcement, and Military personnel; and civilians that lost their lives on that fateful day.

The 9-11 Memorial Stair Climbers will honor the fallen by climbing 110 flights of stairs throughout the day. The Barn Restaurant will host a Free Dinner celebration for all climbers, where Door Prizes (donated by local sponsors) will be awarded.

This amazing fundraiser is open to the public and is family-friendly so make sure that you bring your kids to remind them about our 9-11 heroes.
