8th Annual Tunnel to Towers Run

On September 27, 2009 at 9:30 AM, in Brooklyn, NY a Commemoration of the Heroes of 9/11/01 takes place in the form of the Tunnel to Towers 5k Run/Walk that traces the steps of Firefighter Stephen Siller on that fateful morning. On 9/11/01 Stephen Siller was an off duty New York City Firefighter on his way to a day off with his brothers. Hearing the call of duty, Firefighter Siller ran from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center Site to assist his the on duty Firefighters in their Herculean effort to save the victims of a devastating attack. Stephen was last seen at the site of the World Trade Center as were so many of the First Responders who answered the call of 9/11/01.

To honor the Memory of Firefighter Stephen Siller the Tunnel to Tower Run was organized as a Charitable Foundation that contributes to a variety of Children's and Survivors Charities. The Tunnel to Tower has grown exponentially over the last seven years donating to a host of charities to commemorate the Memory of Son, Brother, Husband, Father and Firefighter Stephen Siller. Those not able to travel to Brooklyn, NY for the race, may still participate in the final goal of the race, donating money to The Stephen Siller "Let Us Do Good" Children's Foundation.

The Tunnel to Tower 5K Race/Walk ends with a day of festivities that include Children's activities. Mehron endorses and supports the work of the The Stephen Siller "Let Us Do Good" Children's Foundation. Under the Leadership of Shelli Farber, Product Sales and Education Manager of Mehron, a Team of Volunteer Face Painters offer face painting to the children using the safe Mehron's Face Painting Makeup, made in the USA and donated to this extraordinary Foundation that commemorates the Memory of Stephen Siller, a young Father, who ran towards the danger on 9/11/01.
