A new 9/11 Memorial is coming soon to the fire station on San Marco Road — a place where our community can pause, reflect, and honor the lives lost, the courage shown, and the sacrifices made on that day. This memorial will serve as a quiet reminder of the resilience shown by first responders and the enduring impact their service has had on our nation.
9/11 Memorial Sponsorship Opportunities
The Marco Island Fire Rescue Foundation is honored to be creating a permanent 9/11 Memorial at Fire Station 50 — a place of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude that will stand for generations to come.
This memorial will serve as a lasting tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to the courage and sacrifice of first responders who answered the call that day and continue to do so every day since. It will also help future generations understand the significance of 9/11 and the values of service, resilience, and unity.
Community support is essential to bringing this memorial to life. Sponsorship opportunities allow individuals and businesses to play a meaningful role in honoring that legacy while receiving permanent recognition as part of the memorial itself.
