Ocean Beach transformed into a sea of purpose and remembrance on Sunday, July 27, as more than 900 people gathered for the third annual Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk on Fire Island. What began in 2022 as a small local fundraiser has grown into a major community event and official race in the national Tunnel to Towers Run, Walk & Climb Series. This year, it raised over $70,000 for the foundation, which honors fallen FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller by supporting first responders, veterans, and their families.
