BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA, FLORIDA – Cocoa Fire Rescue will host the Second Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb on September 9 at the Cocoa High School Stadium.

“It’s our way of remembering and honoring those who died and symbolically finishing the journey.”
Money raised from t-shirt sales, and food and drink sales at the event will benefit Cocoa Community First Police Athletic League programs and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
