A NEW YEAR. A DEFINING MOMENT.
As we step into 2026, we pause to reflect on a year that tested us and proved what perseverance truly looks like.
2025 was not about headlines or shortcuts.
It was about showing up, learning, building, and doing the work the right way.
This year, the Never Forget 9/11 Memorial & Learning Center reached milestones that took nearly two decades to achieve.
We:
Strengthened our Board and governance structure
Held consistent board meetings and planning sessions
Built working relationships with community partners, schools, and organizations
Began formal fundraising efforts and donor outreach
Secured professional guidance from architects, accountants, and advisors
Advanced design concepts for the memorial and site layout
Hosted educational events, community outreach, and remembrance gatherings
Began laying the foundation for long-term sustainability
For the first time, the work moved forward with structure, accountability, and direction.
There were challenges.
There were delays.
There were lessons learned the hard way.
But there was also progress! The real, measurable progress.
We now stand at a turning point.
The vision that began years ago is no longer an idea waiting to happen.
It is a project ready to move forward with the right support.
As we enter 2026, our focus is clear:
to secure the funding needed to break ground and finally bring this memorial to life. A place of remembrance, education, and reflection for generations to come.
If you have followed our journey, supported us, or believe in preserving the memory of September 11th, we ask you to stand with us now.
This is the year we move from preparation to permanence.
Thank you for believing in this mission.
Thank you for believing in us.
