PIERCE MANUFACTURING and THE NATIONAL FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS FOUNDATION (NFFF) raised more than $135,000 during the sixth-annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, held on September 22 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at Lambeau Field. More than 2,700 participants promised to “never forget” by honoring and remembering the 343 New York firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. All proceeds benefitted the NFFF. Since instituting a partnership with the NFFF, Pierce has helped raised more than $600,000 to support the NFFF’s mission to provide support and resources for the families of fallen firefighters. Through support networks, conferences, workshops and scholarships, the NFFF has led a nationwide effort to develop and expand programming for the entire fire service community. www.piercemfg.com/climb. firehero.org.
