The event is a way to say thank and honor those who risk their lives to save others, offering the business community an opportunity to express appreciation for the service that first responders and our military provide in their day-to-day jobs.
This is also a community awareness campaign encouraging business owners to "thank" our First Responders on business marquees or by offering them a discount during a designated week.
The responsibility of the First Responders Appreciation task force is to aid in the planning and implementation of the event.
