The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is pleased announce a new "people's
choice" award to be presented at the second annual Public Safety
Valor Awards on June 25, 2019. This event is presented by Highland
Construction and Restoration and Manna Church to show community
appreciation to our first responders in the City, County and at Fort
Bragg. This breakfast event will be from 7:30-9:30AM at Manna Church,
5117 Cliffdale Rd., Fayetteville.
The People's Choice Award recognizes first responders whose heroic efforts
are making a difference in our community. This award provided the general
public an opportunity to nominate first responders they have observed in
action during the period from April 2018 through March 2019.
In addition to the People's Choice Award, sixty-seven public safety
personnel will be honored for acts of heroism in the past year. These
awardees were nominated by their chief or agency head from a range of law
enforcement,fire/rescue, and emergency management agency who serve
Cumberland County. Incidents should have occurred within Cumberland
County in the past year, or have involved first responders representing a
local public safety agency.
Recpients were nominated by their respective agencies, and nominations
were reviewed by a layperson panel consisting of the event's top sponsors,
which include Highland Cosntruction, Manna Church, Cape Fear Valley
Health System, Holmes Security, American Uniform Sales, Methodist
University, AT&T and Cumberland County Fire Chiefs Association.
Three major awards will be given: a Certificate of Merit for outstanding
work benefitting the department; the Lifesaving Award, in which personnel
put their own safety at risk to save the life of another; and the prestigious
Valor Award, for incidents in which acts of heroism are performed under
extreme risk.
We invite the public to attend – tickets are $25, and are available online
at www.faybiz.com under events. Please join us in showing our thanks
to these brave men and women who are protecting us every day!
