Our Beneficiaries
The Dallas Stair Climb is first and foremost a memorial event to pay tribute to fallen first responders. Climbers are not required to do any fundraising to participate in this event.
If a climber chooses to do so, the Dallas 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb has chosen
Search One Rescue Team
as our 2021 beneficiary. Search One Rescue Team helps official government agencies locate lost or missing persons, including missing children, elderly walk-a-ways, suicidal persons, human remains, disaster victims, and many other types of searches.
During our registration process, climbers have the option to raise funds for our selected beneficiary. Climbers are encouraged to raise $1.00 per floor prior to the climb that is paid directly to the beneficiary they choose. Many climbers raise more than $110.
Together, we have raised over $450,000 for charities benefiting national and local first responders!

Following our climb, we ask that our beneficiaries send us a letter outlining the amount received from our event and what they have used or intend on using the funds for. Click on the beneficiary name under each year to view their letter.
