Donate today and support our mission to remember 9-11 and educate the next generation about the heroism and lessons from that day.
This sounds like a bad fundraising request, but the 9-11 Foundation was formed to never forget 9-11 which means keeping that day alive in the minds of school children not alive for the events that day.
We do that by making September 11 connect to their lives today with lessons on overcoming adversity and challenge, unity, and leadership using skills on display on September 11: family, teamwork, self respect, intelligence, and passion for excellence.
Our speakers have traveled the country speaking to tens of thousands of school students on how they can apply lessons from two decades ago to their lives now.

The bottom line is today is less different from twenty years ago than we think it is. Together we united and responded to a horrific series of events that temporarily paralyzed a nation watching the horror, but we united in action.
We united in responding.
We were better working together then and we are better working together now.
