19th Annual First Responders Appreciation Dinner! ❤️🤍💙
What a wonderful evening celebrating the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting our community!
Last night, the Evans County Chamber of Commerce was proud to host our 19th Annual First Responders Appreciation Dinner, honoring those who answer the call and selflessly serve our community each and every day.
A very special THANK YOU to Bruce Purcell, who puts countless hours of hard work and dedication into planning and organizing this event year after year. Bruce is truly the driving force behind making this special evening possible, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he does!
We were also honored to welcome Georgia State Representative Jesse Petrea, who represents House District 166 in the Savannah area, as our guest speaker. Thank you, Representative Petrea, for taking the time to join us and be part of this special evening!
To all of our generous sponsors and those who contributed door prizes, THANK YOU! Your generosity and continued support help make this event such a success each year. We could not do it without you!
Most importantly, to our first responders, thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe. Your service does not go unnoticed, and we hope last night served as a reminder of just how much you are appreciated!
