Wayne’s Walking Bears

Born from the tragedy of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation carries forward a legacy of courage and heroism. Built upon the mantra, “While we have time, LET US DO GOOD,” the Foundation supports our nation’s fallen and catastrophically injured first responders, military heroes and their families.

Please help me support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and America’s heroes by making a donation through my page. The process is fast, easy and secure. Thank you for your support, and please don’t forget to send this page to anyone who may be interested in donating!

Event Mission

Proceeds from this event will directly assist families affected by fires and provide fencing scholarships in Wayne’s name to his beloved alma mater, St. Benedict’s Preparatory School.

Every contribution makes a difference. Let’s honor a hero, lift up our neighbors, and make a lasting impact together. We can’t wait to see you there!
