Updated - Never Forget: UPSers Pay Tribute to 9/11 Heroes
12 September 2020 - 4:45AM
To honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, UPSers around the
world proudly took part in the fifth annual 9/11 Promise Run and
Ride, which benefits children and families of first responders and
military service members killed, injured or out of work.
The 9/11 Promise Run and Ride is normally a three-day event,
with runners starting in Washington, D.C. — alongside a
simultaneous bike ride from the Pentagon Memorial to the Flight 93
Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. — and the event culminating at the
9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero in New York City. But this year was
different, of course, and the event took place almost entirely in a
virtual manner.
More than 200 UPS employees, representing every U.S. state and
seven countries, took part virtually. They ran or biked 9.11 miles.
Some started exactly at 9:11 a.m. They took pictures and videos,
logged their time, and many donated to the fundraising effort,
building on the major corporate sponsorship from UPS.
