REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR 9/11 MEMORIAL STAIR CLIMB AT SALT TIVER FIELDS AT TALKING STICK
The Salt River Indian Community Fire Department will be hosting the 5th annual Memorial Stair Climb at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on September 11, 2021 to honor and remember the fallen firefighters on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is not a timed race event, but a way to honor the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) firefighters, police and EMS who selflessly gave their lives on September 11, 2001.

Each participant pays tribute to an FDNY firefighter, police officer, or EMS by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. Each climber will be issued a tag with the name and picture of one of the fallen to carry throughout the climb, symbolically completing their journey to the top of the World Trade Center Towers. Through firefighter and community participation, we hope to ensure that each of the 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 10 EMS personnel are honored, and their sacrifice, never forgotten.
The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is an official climb of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF). Stair Climbs help NFFF create and maintain programs that support fire service survivors and provides assistance to the surviving families and co-workers of the fallen. Learn more here.

About the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community:
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) is represented by two distinct Native American tribes; the Akimel O’odham (River People), more commonly known as the Pima and the Xalychidom Piipaash (People Who Live Toward the Water) commonly known as the Maricopa; both share the same cultural values, but maintain their own unique traditions. Today, more than 10,000 individuals are enrolled Salt River tribal members.
The SRPMIC is bordered by Tempe, Fountain Hills and Mesa and shares a Scottsdale address. The Community owns and operates several successful enterprises including Salt
River Materials Group and Saddleback Communication and hospitality enterprises: Talking Stick Resort, Talking Stick Golf Club and Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, all within the
Talking Stick Entertainment District, on the northern part of the Community. The culture and the history of the people is an important story to tell and have been interwoven at many
of the destination amenities through interior art, building design and landscape.
