Atlanta firefighters and supporters will climb 110 flights at Buckhead's Sovereign Condominium
ATLANTA, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FirstService Residential and the Sovereign Condominium will host the annual Georgia 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, on Saturday, September 7, 2024, in commemoration of the 23rd anniversary of that tragic day. Benefiting the FDNY Counseling Unit and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the event will be held at the Sovereign, Buckhead's tallest building.
Joining thousands from events across the country, local participants, including dozens of Atlanta firefighters in full gear, will climb 110 flights of stairs—the equivalent of the World Trade Center—to honor the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty. Beginning at 8:15, the opening ceremony will feature bagpipers, the singing of the national anthem, and a moment of silence before more than 100 participants begin the climb at 8:46 a.m., marking the moment of the first impact in 2001.
"Each year, we are deeply moved by the dedication and empathy shown by our community as we come together to remember the heroes of 9/11. It's truly a testament to the enduring spirit of service and sacrifice," said Danny Ellis, president of FirstService Residential, the leader in residential property management. "Giving back to the communities we serve is the foundation of our organization, and we are so proud to organize and sponsor this event every year."
The event is open to all who wish to pay tribute and provide support to the families of fallen firefighters. On display that day, modern and vintage firetrucks will delight guests of all ages. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for participants.
In support of this effort, the owners of the Sovereign Condominium, a FirstService Residential-managed community, and the commercial owners, Cousins Properties, have offered up this iconic 50-story tower, located at 3344 Peachtree Road NE in Atlanta, as the venue for the climb.
Additional sponsors include: First Onsite, Roofing Corp of America, Winter Capriola Zenner LLC, American Pool, TK Elevator, PaulDavis, EPIC, Strategic Claim Consultants, Alford & Alford, CPA, Sears Pool Management Consultants, Century Fire Protection, Gray, Rooter Plus, Remediation Group, Cintas, Planned Companies, P3 Painting & Renovations, and Fision.
