9/11 Memorial Tower Climb | City Center Fort Worth

Community Announcement Regarding the 9/11 Tower Climb

To our first responders, community, sponsors, and supporters,

After careful consideration, we want to share that we will no longer be hosting the annual 9/11 Tower Climb event at our facility.

Our property recently underwent several significant improvements and enhancements that will impact the accessibility, logistics, and overall experience. While we are excited about these upgrades, they will create challenges that would prevent us from delivering the smooth, safe, and successful event that participants and supporters deserve.

The 9/11 Tower Climb has been a meaningful opportunity to honor and remember the brave first responders and lives affected by the events of September 11, 2001. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has participated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this event over the years.

This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it is the right one given the changes taking place on our property. We remain committed to supporting our community and finding new opportunities to bring people together in meaningful ways in the future.

Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and dedication to honoring the spirit of remembrance and service that the Tower Climb represents.

Sincerely,

City Center
