CARBONDALE – SIU Carbondale will pay tribute to the victims of 9-11 with its Saluki Stair Climb on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 6 a.m. at the Banterra Center.
The event involves a simulated 110-floor stair climb representing the 110 floors of the World Trade Center’s twin towers.
A two-mile walk around the Banterra Center concourse will be offered to those who do not want to climb stairs. The distance represents the evacuation from Ground Zero to a site across the Brooklyn Bridge.
You can participate by yourself or as a team and should arrive by 5:45 a.m.
