On Tuesday, July 10th Tuesday's Children hosted close to 200 First Responders and their families at the 9/11 Memorial for a visit. The 9/11 Memorial welcomed Tuesday's Children's First Responder Alliance to the site and had their staff on hand to answer questions about the Memorial and the progress of the museum construction. Afterwards, family members joined us at St. Paul’s Chapel for dinner. For many First Responders it was their first time visiting the Memorial and was meaningful visiting it as a group.
Thank you to the 9/11 Memorial for hosting Tuesday’s Children and providing a wonderful experience for our First Responder Alliance! |
