On September 11, 99.7 WTN’s Dan Mandis and Matt Murphy are stepping away from the studio and onto the stairs as part of Shepherd’s Men’s 9/11 Memorial Climb.
Dan, host of Nashville’s Morning News with Dan Mandis, and Matt, host of The Matt Murphy Show, will take on the memorial stair climb together during a special live broadcast from 5–9 a.m., honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the first responders who answered the call and the generation that stepped forward to serve in the years that followed.
And they’re asking 99.7 WTN listeners to climb with them in spirit by supporting Shepherd’s Men!
Together, we’ll remember the past while helping today’s heroes continue their journey of healing.
70 Flights. But Why Stop There?
Dan and Matt are taking on both stairwells, each symbolically representing the North and South tower, 70 flights total. But with 99.7 WTN listeners behind them, how far can they go?
You don’t have to climb a single stair to make a difference. Help keep Dan and Matt climbing with a gift of $5, $10, $25, $50, $100 or any amount that is meaningful to you.
Every donation supports Shepherd’s Men and its mission to raise funds and awareness for Shepherd Center’s SHARE Military Initiative, which provides comprehensive rehabilitation and treatment to veterans, active-duty service members and first responders living with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress and other invisible wounds of war.
Every gift makes a difference.
