CINCINNATI — Uniform, product and services provider Cintas Corp. hosted the Cincinnati 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Sept. 13 at the Cintas Center at Xavier University.
Nearly 1,000 participants locally, alongside other Cintas stair climb events and participants across the nation, helped raise more than $100,000 in support of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).
“Taking part in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is more than just a tribute — it’s a reminder of the resilience, unity and service that took place that day,” says Nick Pickens, president and COO of fire protection at Cintas.
“We take great pride in supporting the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and their mission in supporting fire service survivors all across the country.”
Proceeds from the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb significantly impact the creation and maintenance of programs that directly support fire service survivors nationwide, Cintas says.
The Stair Climb honored and remembered the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, so that others might live. The NFFF sponsors the event each year.
Cintas is a proud partner of the NFFF, as both organizations are dedicated to preventing and safeguarding individuals from fires and electrical hazards.
