We would like to thank Leisa Farrar our President, Judge Grout VP, Rita Bezou, Carlos Ayestas and his son Aiden, Dennis Quijano Historian, David Heximer VP Lafayette and his wife Sarah, and Kathleen LaGrange, Secretary for their participation. The climb pays tribute to the 343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers, and 8 emergency medical technicians that made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives on 9/11/01. They also include first responders from across the gulf south who have died in the line of duty. Participation is open to Regional Law Enforcement and Emergency Responders. They climb 110 stairs in full gear wearing lanyards with the name of a hero who lost their life that day. As they completed the climb they announced the name of their responder and rang the fire bell. This was the second year the New Orleans Chapter has participated in this annual event which raises money for the Louisiana Heroes Project. LaPlace Disaster Relief Donation was made from the alumni association to the Celebration Church Laplace Campus. Pastor Checkerz Williams is also on the EOC board of St. John the Baptist Parish for emergency preparedness. Two of our alumni made significant financial contributions as part of this effort. Our support of the Laplace tornado victims would not have been possible without our alumni support. Alumni helped provide clothing, cleaning supplies and items needed. The Celebration church responded to the members of the community well ahead of local parish efforts. The church played a significant role in helping victims with food, water and groceries as well as offering assistance with insurance and repairs.
