Thank you for making our First Responders Appreciation Event Special

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Community

To our incredible Lacey community and the 125+ small businesses that stepped up big, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Because of your overwhelming generosity, we were able to host what may have been the most significant event in Lacey Elks' history, serving over 2,000 first responders, their families, and our neighbors. From food establishments and home goods stores to local service providers, your donations ensured there was never a worry about running out of food or beverages. You truly put this event over the top.

This success belongs to all of you.

So, how do we say thank you?

We ask our entire community to return the favor. Go out and support the businesses that gave so generously—dine in, order takeout, shop locally, and use their services. And while you're there, take a moment to thank them personally for helping make our First Responders Appreciation Event such a resounding success.

This event was about more than food and celebration. It was about community, gratitude, and unity. None of it would have been possible without all of you.

With heartfelt appreciation and respect,
Michael & Tracey Zummo
