For those unfamiliar, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was born from the tragedy of 9/11 and continues its mission to “do good” by:
• Providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children.
• Building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
• Working tirelessly to eradicate veteran homelessness.
• Ensuring America never forgets September 11, 2001.
This year marks 25 years since 9/11, thank you to all of the runners that participated today.
