On the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families who continue to carry their memory, and the courage of the first responders and all those who served in the days that followed.

September 11 remains a solemn reminder of the importance of compassion, community, and standing together in moments of tragedy.

At Niagara Foundation, our work is rooted in bringing people of different cultures and faiths together, building understanding, and strengthening relationships across our communities. As we remember this day, we recommit ourselves to choosing understanding over division, compassion over fear, and service to one another.

May the memory of those we lost continue to inspire us to build stronger, more peaceful, and more united communities.

We remember.

Thank you to the Township of Schaumburg’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Committee for hosting this year’s Ramadan Iftar Dinner, and to the 200+ community members who joined to share a meal, connect with neighbors, and celebrate the spirit of Ramadan. A special thank you to everyone who helped shape the program, including: Saadia Abdul (DE&I Committee Member) – Opening & Welcome, Ayaan Abdul & Raahim Durrani – Ramadan Reflection & Q&A, Roosevelt Groves (DE&I Committee Chair), Demetrius Gibson (Township of Schaumburg Board of Trustees), State Rep. Michelle Mussman, Naomi Leilani (Statewide Manager for Asian American Diversity & Inclusion). We’re grateful to have supported this meaningful evening alongside TASC (Turkish American Society of Chicago).

We’re also grateful to the volunteers, sponsors, and local restaurants/businesses who supported the evening. It was a meaningful night of unity, reflection, breaking the fast together, and community conversation.

Thank you to Viator House of Hospitality for hosting such a beautiful and welcoming iftar at the Viatorian Province Center. We were grateful to contribute to the evening and to be part of a gathering filled with warmth and hospitality.

We were especially moved by the reflection on the story of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) finding refuge in Medina, and the reminder of the Ansar—those who opened their homes and hearts to people facing persecution. The message was clear and powerful: we all have the opportunity to be “today’s Ansar” by offering support, dignity, and belonging to those who have had to flee hardship.

We deeply appreciate Viator House’s continued commitment to walking alongside the young men who call Viator House home.
