Warriors For A Cause: Celebrating 11 Years of Impact at the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk
In 2024, Warriors For A Cause proudly marked its 11th consecutive year of participation in the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk, an event that holds a deep significance for us and countless others across the nation. This year was extraordinary as we brought together over 250 dedicated participants and raised an impressive $13,000 in donations for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, furthering its vital mission to support veterans, first responders, and their families.
Honoring Heroes, Building Legacies
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was established to honor the legacy of Stephen Siller, a firefighter who gave his life in the line of duty on September 11, 2001. The foundation supports families of fallen first responders and catastrophically injured service members by paying off their mortgages or providing them with mortgage-free smart homes. By joining forces with this impactful organization, Warriors For A Cause continues to be a part of something much larger than ourselves—a movement to honor those who sacrifice so much for our freedom and safety.
Reflecting on a Decade of Dedication
Eleven years ago, our journey with Tunnel to Towers began with a small but passionate group of supporters. Over time, our team has grown exponentially, fueled by a shared commitment to making a difference.
Through the collective efforts of participants, sponsors, and supporters, we raised over $13,000—funds that will directly aid the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in carrying out its crucial programs. This milestone represents not just financial success, but also the growing awareness and recognition of a cause that resonates deeply with so many.
“Our participation in the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk has always been about more than just running or walking; it’s about honoring those who have given everything for our safety and freedom,” said Roy DiMarco, Founder, Executive Committee Member, and Treasurer of Warriors For A Cause. “This year, seeing over 250 people come together as Warriors and raising over $13,000 fills me with pride and gratitude. It’s a testament to the power of community and the shared desire to make a difference. Together, we’re ensuring that the sacrifices of our heroes are never forgotten.”
The Power of Community
The Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from unity. This year’s event was filled with laughter, tears, and moments of reflection as we honored our heroes while celebrating the lives they lived and the legacies they left behind. Our Warriors For A Cause team embodied this spirit, walking and running side by side, united by a common goal of giving back and making a difference.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this year’s achievements, we are already looking forward to the future. Warriors For A Cause remains steadfast in our commitment to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and its transformative work. Each step we take, every dollar we raise, and every voice we amplify brings us closer to creating a world where the sacrifices of our heroes are never forgotten.
