The DS2 team proudly sponsored and supported our local area’s First Responders’ Appreciation Day on Saturday, October 24, 2020. The event was held at the Emerald Coast Science Center for our first responders and their immediate family members. First responders were in attendance from all of our local departments.
We had the privilege of greeting our first responders at the door, ushering people to food, and we were able to wash one deputy’s car before the rain came in. “It was a great experience!” said Nancy Davis, our HR Manager, “It was a wonderful opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to all our first responders and do something to give back to those people who give so much for us. We’re planning on returning next year and hopefully the weather lets us get to more than one car!”
We would like to extend a big thank you to TecMEN and the Emerald Coast Science Center for hosting this event, and we would like to extend our biggest thank you to the local Sherriff’s Departments, Fire and Rescue Departments, EMTs, City Police Departments, and State Troopers! All of you are so vital to making our community amazing, and we look forward to seeing you next year!
