Welcome to 343toNYC!
343toNYC.org is a nationwide non-profit 501(c)3 organization that sends first-responders (Firefighters, Police Officers, and EMS personnel) to New York City for a one-night stay in a hotel and a ticket to attend the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Our Board of Directors, as well as Founding Members, are all Firefighters either active or retired.
The largest terrorist attack on American soil claimed the lives of 343 full-time Firefighters, 60 Police Officers, and 8 Emergency Medical Service providers as well as 2,566 other individuals. Illnesses from working at ground zero have claimed the lives of thousands more since the attacks on 9/11/2001. 343toNYC.org’s mission is simple: send those that protect us daily to witness a part of history that is crucial to understanding many of the operating procedures, job duties and issues we as first responders encounter every day.
343toNYC is funded by our home and business service program: Firetrack Inc. Through this app you can find a qualified Firefighter to take care of any needs you may have around your home or business. A portion of all proceeds from the app goes directly to 343toNYC.org to fund the travel expenses and museum entry for any 343toNYC.org board nominated first-responder in America. Donating to 343toNYC is easy, just visit firetrackapp.com to find a “Firefighter to extinguish your honey-do list”, and by doing business with this Firefighter on his/her day off you are supporting our efforts at 343toNYC.org to send more and more first responders to New York City each year. A donation page is also under construction. Thank you for your support!
