Beacon Hose to Host 9/11 Ceremony, Selling Shirts to Benefit Tunnel to Towers

August 28, 2026 Beacon Hose Leave a comment

Please join Beacon Hose on Friday, Sept. 11 as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a ceremony at the firehouse. The events will begin at 6:30 p.m. and include various speakers, memories, and tributes to those lost — especially the 343 members of FDNY who died while rescuing others.

In addition, Beacon Hose has launched a T-shirt fundraiser for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. This design was created by Beacon Hose members, and it features a patch on the front chest with a beautiful rendering of the New York skyline on the back.

Shirts can be purchased here and will be delivered directly to you ASAP. All of the proceeds after printing/material costs will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which does tremendous work for fallen first responders and military, homeless veterans, and 9/11-related education.
