Who are the Friends?

Friends groups are found at many national parks, raising awareness and appreciation for these special places and helping to provide educational and interpretive resources to enhance the experience for every visitor. Established in 2009, the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial is the official non-profit supporting partner of Flight 93 National Memorial. The Friends focus on awareness, education, volunteer support, preservation and stewardship. The Friends of Flight 93 is a registered 501 (c)3 organization, donations to which are tax-deductible.

The Friends of Flight 93 are a varied group, including family and friends of the passengers and crew of Flight 93, people nationwide who have been inspired by these acts of courage, and many residents of Western Pennsylvania who want to be part of the Friends' mission in a hands-on way.

Join the Friends of Flight 93 today.
