The Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Never Forget Concert on Aug. 21 at the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y. The show will honor Stephen Siller, a Brooklyn firefighter who, on Sept. 11, 2001, strapped 60 pounds of gear to his back and ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel on foot to rescue people from the World Trade Center, perishing in the blaze himself.
Proceeds from the Never Forget Concert will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which pays off mortgages of law enforcement officers and firefighters who died in the line of duty or suffer from 9/11-related illnesses while providing Smart Homes for injured veterans or their surviving spouses.
