As Friends of Flight 93, we welcome worldwide all who would join us in honoring the sacrifice and courage of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 by supporting the mission of the Flight 93 National Memorial with volunteers, resources, and civic engagement, so as to inspire all who visit with the Flight 93 story.
An exclusive event for Friends members only.*
On October 28, 2022, Friends members will learn about the importance of dark skies and light pollution’s impact on humans and the environment. After a night sky presentation, you will have the opportunity to gaze at the galaxies, planets, nebulae, and other celestial objects through high-powered telescopes provided by Cumberland Astronomy Club and the Holidaysburg Astronomy Club.
Registered members are welcome to bring personal cameras, telescopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars as well. Visit our event page to learn more about the event.

On November 6, 2022, 10 Flight 93 family members will run the New York City Marathon. This year runners are sponsored by the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial who will be the benefactor of the funds raised. The Friends organization plans to put the funds raised toward the enhancements to the Western Overlook Project at the Memorial site. The Western Overlook is where family members were brought for their first look at the crash site in September 2001. The area has quite a bit of historical significance not only as the area where families had their first look at the crash site, adjacent to this area is where the crime scene investigation was conducted.
Visit Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial Fundraising Page for 2022 TCS New York City Marathon Fundraising (hakuapp.com) to help reach the goal of $25,000!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Friends event, Pints for Parks! We have gained 40 new Friends members! You are invaluable! We are so excited that you have helped the Friends raise almost $3,000 for the Western Overlook enhancements at Flight 93 National Memorial.

September 11, 2001 began as an ordinary, late-summer day. But, in less than two hours' time, this seemingly routine day was transformed when nineteen terrorists boarded and hijacked four airplanes to attack America.
