3rd Annual
First Responders Appreciation Day
3RD Annual
First Responders Appreciation Day
Date: Saturday, September 13th
TIME: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
LOCATION: OPFOB Event Barn
COST: Free for all first responders
First Responders, come join us as OPFOB hosts its 3rd Annual First Responders Appreciation Day! Bring your family and encourage other members of your department to come out as well. We will have a bounce house for the kids, as well as static displays from the Police Department and Fire Department, open range time, and an all new and improved Battle of the Badges Competition open to all of our first responders. Lunch and live music will be provided.
This year’s Battle of the Badges is getting a bold new format—a two-mile challenge course designed to test grit, teamwork, and endurance. Four-person teams will race the clock as they tackle five mission-based challenges, each of which must be completed in sequence and to standard before advancing. Think you've got what it takes? Email Brett Hatter for more details and to register your team!

“I attended your 1st Annual First Responders Appreciation Day and this event turned out to be way more than I had anticipated. As a 911 First Responder with the NYPD I have been to many First Responders events, but this one was filled with genuine caring, concern, and understanding of what first responders and veterans have endured. If one person that day now has a better outlook then OPFOB achieved something wonderful.”
- NYPD Police Officer, 911 First Responder
