A Night With the Stars Gala
Survive First's 4th Annual
"A Night With the Stars"
First Responder Gala
An evening dedicated to honoring our Nation's first responders while normalizing the conversation surrounding mental health and raising life-saving funds for our important causes. Our nation's first responders give selflessly, each and every day, but many times with a cost. Each year, more first responders die by their own hand than any other line of duty death. Survive First is determined to change that statistic and we can do that with your support. Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our dedicated first responders. Your attendance will directly impact first responders across the nation, as we raise funds for Survive First's programs. Follow us on social media to stay up to date on this impactful evening. We can be found on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Together, we can support the heroes who keep our communities safe. We look forward to seeing you there!
