Description

JOIN US IN CELEBRATING OUR LOCAL HEROES!
Join the Donelson Hermitage Chamber of Commerce for a special Member Meeting & Luncheon dedicated to celebrating the first responders who serve, protect, rescue, and care for our community every single day.
This is more than a luncheon. It is an opportunity for our business community to pause, come together, and recognize the men and women whose courage, commitment, and compassion make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors.
Through the First Responders Awards, we will honor outstanding individuals whose service exemplifies the very best of our community. From answering emergency calls and protecting our neighborhoods to providing lifesaving care in critical moments, these individuals dedicate themselves to helping others when they are needed most.
We are proud to celebrate their service, their sacrifice, and the tremendous impact they have on the community we all call home.
A Celebration Made Possible by Our Sponsors
We are incredibly grateful to our
Presenting Sponsor, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center,
and to our Title Sponsor, TriStar Summit Medical Center,
for helping us make this meaningful celebration possible.
There are still opportunities for businesses to put their name behind this important community event through First Responder Award Sponsorships and Table Sponsorships.
Sponsoring the First Responders Awards is more than visibility. It is a chance to stand alongside the people who stand up for our community every day.
- Award Sponsors help us shine a spotlight on exceptional first responders and make their recognition possible.
- Table Sponsors bring their team, clients, colleagues, and community partners together for an afternoon centered on gratitude, connection, and celebration.
Sponsorship opportunities are limited. If your business believes in recognizing the people who help make our community stronger, safer, and more connected, we invite you to be part of this special day.

Join us as we give our first responders the recognition they deserve and remind them that their community sees them, values them, and is grateful for the work they do every day.
