9/11: Tunnel to Towers has raised $250M and counting – By Daniella Genovese (FOX Business) / Sept 11, 2022
The foundation paid off mortgages for families of 21 first responders in honor of the 21st anniversary of the terror attacks
Tunnel to Towers promised to never forget the sacrifices made on 9/11 and thereafter. It has spent more than $250 million helping our nation’s military and first responder families with mortgages.
The funds have also gone toward educating future generations about the terrorist attacks, which resulted in the death of nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
To mark the 21st anniversary of 9/11 we paid off the mortgages on the homes of 21 fallen first responder families in honor of the 9/11 heroes who laid down their lives bringing others to safety when America was attacked. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/g4l9j5hzRS pic.twitter.com/6ncXAuD2tx

The foundation was named after and continues to honor late FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller. Siller, who worked for Brooklyn’s Squad 1, ran through the Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 with 60 pounds of gear strapped to his back after the north and south towers were hit by planes.
