Palm Desert Chamber Hosting Peace Officer, Public Safety Awards

From The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce: The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce will host its 22nd annual Peace Officer & Public Safety Awards luncheon on Thursday, October 4, 2018, at 11:30 a.m., at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, 74855 Country Club Dr., Palm Desert, CA 92260.

This event is a chance to come out, say thank you, and honor the service of officers and emergency personnel from all over the Coachella Valley! Last year we recognized 64 local heroes who each received awards for their outstanding service to our community.

Local TV personality, Kitty Alvarado, will be one of the emcees for this historic event. Kitty is excited to be a part of this year’s event as she has a personal interest in first responders.

“My husband is a battalion chief with a Long Beach FD, my son Paul is a Bakersfield Fire Dept firefighter and my son Max is a seasonal lifeguard with the Long Beach Fire Dept. I am so proud of them and proud to be a first responder wife, mother and family. No matter the badge we are one family and have a special bond. I’m always humbled as I watch from the sidelines and report on their bravery. It is said heroes are those who serve something bigger than themselves and willing to give their lives to save another ... first responders are the epitome of heroes.”

The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce Peace Officer & Public Safety awards is the longest ongoing event of its kind in Riverside County.

The public is invited to attend this event and celebrate and honor this year’s group of outstanding police, fire, and first responders. Attendance is $60 for individuals and $550 for a table of eight. Paid reservations are required.

A limited number of opportunities to sponsor each of these heroes, including having one sit at your table for lunch, are available now as well. Please contact Linda Davis, of the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce: Info@pdacc.org 760/346-6111.
