The Christopher Leadership Award recognizes individuals whose work, actions, and example serve as a guiding light to others.

Key Points: 
  • The Christopher Leadership Award recognizes individuals whose work, actions, and example serve as a guiding light to others.
  • On Sept. 11, 2001, firefighter Stephen Siller got the call that a plane had hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
  • So Stephen strapped 60 pounds of gear to his back and ran through the tunnel to join rescue efforts at the Trade Center.
  • In 2002, they created the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation ( tunnel2towers.org ), initially as a New York City-based charity run that retraced Stephen's steps on 9/11.
