Join us at Stony Brook University for a Memorial Stadium Climb at the Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Sunday, September 13, 2026, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001.
We invite you to join us as we climb the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center Towers — a symbolic challenge to honor the courage and sacrifice of that day. The event is open to all members of the Stony Brook University and Stony Brook Medicine communities, including students, employees, our neighbors and area residents.
Whether you participate in the climb, walk, or simply attend to pay your respects, your presence is a meaningful demonstration of unity and remembrance.
To learn more about other 9/11 Day of Remembrance Events happening at Stony Brook and the Alumni lost on the date, please visit stonybrook.edu/september-11.
