The Gift of New York is a non-profit initiative that provides the families of those who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks with access, at no cost, to the full range of the New York area's theatrical, artistic, cultural, sports and live entertainment venues from the 2001 Holiday Season through the Spring of 2003.
The members of the New York area arts, entertainment and sports community are offering the families of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks 11 September 2001 tickets to many area shows, sporting events, and various other activities. It's hope a "day at the circus, a night on Broadway, or an outing to a ball gamed might help to affirm the joys of life and help restore some sense of 'normalcy." Information can be found on The Gift of New York's wesite.

These are some of the most recent sites I came across with information relating to 11 September 2001, thanks to articles in last week's Newark Star Ledger's. Hope they can be of some help.
