Supporting Heroic Families
The Tunnels to Towers Foundation continues its vital mission of supporting fallen first responders, injured veterans, and Gold Star families. Co-director Kelly Lambert recently highlighted the foundation’s deep impact, noting that over 14 Louisiana families have already received mortgage-free homes. Additionally, the charity builds custom smart homes for severely injured service members and provides scholarships for surviving children.
Honoring a Legacy of Courage
The foundation honors New York firefighter Stephen Siller, who sacrificed his life on September 11, 2001. After strapping on 60 pounds of gear, Siller ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel toward Ground Zero to save others. Today, local communities nationwide carry forward his legacy of courage through annual fundraising runs.
