Who We Are:
America’s 9/11 Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization based in Leesburg, VA. Our Board of Directors, Officers and Associate Board Members Do Not receive any monetary compensation for their time or efforts. In March 2005 the board of directors voted to modify the name from “America’s 9/11 Ride Foundation, Inc” to its current name, “America’s 9/11 Foundation, Inc”. This was done to expand the Foundations fund raising events beyond the annual memorial ride.
What We Do:
Who We Support:
Foundation Goals:
· Continue distributing college scholarships to children of First Responders.
· Would like to become an accessible resource for emergency personnel seeking funding
and assist replacing often out dated and necessary equipment and tools.
· The funds generated through donations, motorcycle rides, raffles and sale of Merchandise
will help us in this endeavor.
· Additional fund raisers are always being assessed.
What We Have Accomplished To Date:
Created after the attacks on America, September 11, 2001. Eight weeks after, on November 10 and 11 2001 we mobilized a large group of motorcyclists who traveled from the White House in Washington D.C. to the site where the Twin Towers once stood in New York City. The purpose of this was two fold; one to remember the fallen by placing more than 1000 roses at the site, secondly to bring much needed revenue into New York City. On this ride the participants spent more than $50,000 to boost New York’s economy during our short stay.
On August 23 - 24, 2002 the Foundation traveled to all three of the September 11 crash sites. From this point on the America’s 9/11 Ride travels to all three of the crash sites in August, so as not to impact any site and those mourning during September.
Beyond The Annual Memorial Ride
August 2003 the Foundation placed an 800lbs granite monument at the crash site of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA. The memorial honors the sacrifice made by the 40 brave individuals aboard Flight 93.
2004 the Foundation created a t-shirt “Memory Never Forgotten”. 2200 of these t-shirts were taken to all three of the September 11 crash sites and signed by more then 40,000 people along the way. In New York these shirts were presented to the Calvary from Fort Hood Texas and Marines from Camp Lejeune North Carolina for delivery to the troops in IRAQ.
September 2005 the Foundation allocated funds from the general fund to immediately head to assist First Responders hit by Katrina. A second trip to Katrina victims was planned as a food and clothing drive. On September 11, 2005 the Foundation departed Virginia with 3 -26’ box trucks and 1 – 53’ tractor trailer donated by Food Lion, all filled with food and clothes. This trip was directed by the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association.
The Foundation has held two walk a-thons raising funds for local First Responders and the college scholarship program Annually presents $30,000 in college scholarships to children of First Responders from funds generated from the annual raffle and the America’s 9/11 Ride. ($120,000 has been awarded as of 2009)
Annually donates a brand new police motorcycle to an escorting police department on the America’s 9/11 Ride.
Additionally we have donated more than $250,000 to First Responders and their departments.
In 2008 became a part of the National Capitol Area - Combined Federal Campaign #95861
God bless you and America!
