Valor Awards
This past week, the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce celebrated our region's heroes at our largest event, the First Responder Valor Awards.
Hailed by our public safety community as the original and best of its kind in our region, the event focuses on giving back to those who sacrifice for our safety, with a portion of the proceeds donated back to organizations selected by the recipients.
The Chamber is uniquely qualified to bring all facets of the community together to celebrate those that protect us every day and we are thrilled that we already have sold out of our top sponsor levels for next year's program!! Thank you to all our sponsors for making this event so meaningful for our heroes.
