The Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center Field Trip Grant was made possible thanks to donations from businesses, individuals, and nonprofit organizations throughout Wisconsin.
In December of 2023, Pete Rettler commemorated his 30 year running streak by hosting “30 Runs to Remember” to benefit this fund. In that month, he raised more than $30,000 to seed this field trip fund. We thank those sponsors who are dedicated to educating future generations about the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.
