Silent Climb Honors 9-11 at WMU | Kalamazoo News

Mark your calendars: Western Michigan University is hosting the Nine-Eleven Silent Climb on September 12, 2026, at Waldo Stadium—a powerful tribute to those lost 25 years ago. Choose from a mini climb (1,113 steps) or full ascent (2,226 steps), all focused on upward movement as a symbol of resilience. Every dollar you pay goes straight to veterans’ support, funding scholarships and emergency aid for military-connected students. It’s more than exercise—it’s a reflective, community-driven act of remembrance. Register by Sept. 4 for your t-shirt, and know that $11 of your fee is tax-deductible. Join us from 7 AM to 10:30 AM to honor the past and invest in the future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
