5K Run/Walk

Thousands gather annually in lower Manhattan for our 5K, which follows the path rescue and recovery workers took down West Street on their way to Ground Zero on 9/11 and in the days and weeks that followed. This is a truly inspirational run/walk honoring those who bravely stepped in to help when our city and country needed them most. The next 5K will take place on Sunday, April 28, 2024. For additional details including sponsorship opportunities, please contact us at runwalk@911memorial.org.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum relies on the generosity of its donors and visitors, including corporate members, to ensure that this magnificent and vibrant Museum continues to honor those killed on 9/11 and commemorate the sacrifice, humanity, and bravery displayed on that tragic day and in the months that followed.

The Never Forget Fund

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum preserves the history of that tragic day more than two decades ago, so the over 100 million young people born since 9/11 will never forget how we responded. The Never Forget Fund has helped us reach nearly 3.5 million students, educators, professional audiences, and community members with our 9/11 Anniversary Digital Learning Experience, on-site workshops, professional development opportunities, and virtual field trips.
