Annual Stair Climbs

Each year we climb in honor of the first responders of 9/11. This year we visited four locations across Arkansas, and we will post dates, routes, and sign ups on Facebook as they are set.

Families of first responders are part of the healing process too. These gatherings create space to check in, share a meal, and reconnect across shifts and seasons so kids and spouses feel included and supported. Follow Facebook for dates and details.
