The University of Illinois Springfield Department of Campus Recreation will host a 9/11 memorial stair climb at Crowne Plaza Springfield to mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that builds mortgage-free smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
