Greenville City 9/11 Memorial Stairclimb
Sep 10 @ 8:30 am
Fluor Field
The 2022 Greenville City 9/11 Memorial Stairclimb will be on Saturday , September 10th! 9/10/22.
Please help share and spread the word! We will share information for registration and sponsorship information on here.
Come join us to Climb in a way to Honor & Remember those lost on September 11th.
All proceeds go to National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in support of the families lost on 9/11.

The NFFF 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs is a way to honor and remember the FDNY firefighters who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on September 11, 2001. Each participant pays tribute to a FDNY firefighter by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. Your individual tribute not only remembers the sacrifice of a FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic  journey to save others. Through firefighter and community participation we can ensure that each of the 343 firefighters is honored and that the world knows we will never forget.

The Stair Climbs fund the programs provided by the NFFF to support the families of your local fallen firefighters and the FDNY Counseling Services Unit.

Coffee and Code
Sep 10 @ 9:00 am – 9:45 am

Sometimes it’s fun to get together and work on projects with friends. Maybe there’s a bug in your open source project and you want help fixing it up, maybe you want to kick around some ideas for new projects or maybe you just want to chat about recent developments in technology and the Python programming language..

Coffee and Code is where we get together to hang out and work on projects that we care about. No script, no slide decks, just coffee and code.

AMECO: Upstate Roots, Global Reach …75 Years Delivering Construction Site Services
Sep 10 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Upstate History Museum

For more than seven decades, one company has been steadily going about its day-to-day operations – operations that are critical to construction projects, certainly seen and heard, but often unsung heroes.

Managing indirect products and services, including equipment, scaffolding, tools, consumable supplies and fleet management for capital construction, facility operations and maintenance projects on a global scale, this one-time equipment storage division has evolved over the years into an all-purpose site services company focused on expanding the core business to support clients.

As a leading construction and maintenance field services planning and management company, AMECO has been delivering responsiveness, reliability, innovation, safety, and expertise through integrated and collaborative approaches to project management with world-class expertise.

Whether in the fields of manufacturing, infrastructure, power, mining and metals, energy and chemicals, heavy industry, or government, AMECO brings reliable onsite solutions to construction and maintenance industry challenges.

This exhibition celebrates the remarkable history of a company grounded in the work ethic and progressive attitude associated with its founding in Upstate Greenville while steadily advancing to its position as a single trusted source to keep workers working safely, projects moving forward, and jobsites work-ready across North America.

Double Your Donation: September to Honor Childhood Cancer, Sickle Cell Disease Awareness w/ The Blood Connection
Sep 12 @ 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
The Blood Connection-Greenville

Those who donate with The Blood Connection, the non-profit community blood center, are directly impacting the lives of people in this community; people like children battling cancer, or a neighbor suffering from Sickle Cell Disease.  Those people rely on community blood donors every day to ensure lifesaving blood products needed for treatments are available in local hospitals.  That is why TBC is partnering with local and national organizations to shed light on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Sickle Cell Awareness Month.

 

Both causes have a close tie to blood centers, as blood products are vital for the treatment and management of these diseases.  TBC’s September campaign will give community members an opportunity to double their donation by donating blood to the community and donating their reward points to organizations that support childhood cancer and sickle cell patients.

TBC is also looking for organizations, companies, and groups to host blood drives to benefit these causes.
Blood drive coordinators can pick local chapters and organizations, and TBC will make a monetary donation
per donor. To speak with a TBC representative about hosting a blood drive in September, go to
thebloodconnection.org/host and fill out the form.
