Before the trading day begins on Friday, the New York Stock Exchange community will observe a one-minute moment of silence in remembrance of the NYSE members and the thousands of others who lost their lives on 9/11. The moment of silence will begin with a single stroke of the NYSE bell at 9:25 a.m.
Following the moment of silence, officials from The September Concert Foundation — the organizer of an annual citywide music festival in New York in memory of the people lost on 9/11— will ring the Opening Bell. The concert, first held in New York in 2002, now takes place in cities worldwide.
The NYSE will close its day of remembrance with representatives from Tuesday’s Children ringing the Closing Bell. Tuesday's Children is a non-profit family service organization that has made a long-term commitment to individuals who were directly impacted by the 9/11 tragedy. The organization provides 9/11 family members with mentoring, educational and career guidance, leadership training, life management programs and other services throughout their lives.
