The 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance invites us to honor the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11th by uniting in acts of kindness and service. Born from the vision of David Paine and Jay Winuk—whose brother Glenn, an attorney and volunteer firefighter, was killed while responding at the World Trade Center—this day transforms tragedy into a movement for good.
