One day. Two events. A memorial stair climb honoring the 411 first responders lost on 9/11, followed by a benefit concert celebrating the ones who serve Midland today.
We Climb Because They Climbed
On September 11, 2001, 411 first responders climbed toward danger so others could get out. Every year, Midland climbs in their honor.
One Day · Two Events
Honor in the morning.
Celebrate at night.
The Climb and The Concert are two independent events held on the same day. Do one or do both — every ticket supports Midland's first responders.
Part 1 · Morning
The Climb
110 flights — the height of the Twin Towers. Firefighters, police, EMS and civilians climb together. Not a race. A memorial.
Part 2 · Evening
The Concert
A family-friendly night downtown with live music, food, drinks and kids' activities — benefiting the PFAM benevolence fund.
2026 Recap
September 12, 2026.
Thank you, Midland.
Firefighters in full bunker gear and SCBA, police, EMS, families and first-time climbers took on 110 flights at Astound Broadband Stadium. That evening, the crowd filled Centennial Park for Texas country favorite William Clark Green.
