For the very first time, a group of video games will be offering their own charity digital merchandise under one giant campaign for 9/11 Day. Additionally, we have curated a collection of NFT artwork created by famous artists with ties to New York and who are passionate to give back and inspire. Artists selected to participate and donate include Vladimir Nazarov, Cope2, Jason Naylor, Michael Rieger, Studio 502, AWTT, David Olenick and many others.

Collect these unique pieces while doing good. 100% of your purchase is a donation that supports the 9/11 National Day of Service & Remembrance (receipt provided).

9/11 Day, created in 2002 with the support of the 9/11 community, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

“Our mission is to permanently take the day back from the terrorists, turning the 20th anniversary of 9/11 into a worldwide day of unity, peace and doing good.”

9/11 Day x Epik - Into the Metaverse

This group of images was inspired by 25 years of good, bad, & bad-but-still-good meals in New York City. Specifically, late-night gyros at Cinderella Falafel in the East Village, 50 cent hot dogs at the Grey’s Papaya on 8th Street, tacos & tantrums at Arriba Arriba in Hell’s Kitchen, pepperoni slices at any Ray’s Pizza (whether “Famous Original” or anonymous knock-off), hot noodle soup at the closest place I could find during a typically brutal winter, and awkwardly sharing the large order of guac & chips at Sombrero on West 48th Street near Times Square.
