24th Annual Holiday Networking Luncheon & Toy Drive

You're Invited: The 24th Annual Holiday Networking Luncheon & Toy Drive

'Tis the season to celebrate the everyday heroes of Mississippi! Join First Responders of Mississippi for our annual luncehon of fellowship, gratitude, and Christmas spirit as we gather over 550 first responders, therapists, pastors, educators, community leaders, and service professionals from across the state to honor those who show up for our communities, day and night, all year long.

Admission is free — we simply ask you to bring a new, wrapped toy or toys for our toy drive, and to also remember the older kids on your list.

This is one Christmas tradition you won't want to miss — and even better with your team beside you. Gather your coworkers, your crew, your whole department, and come celebrate the season together.

Kicking Off the Season of Giving

This luncheon is the heart-warming kickoff to our annual toy drive, which puts presents under the tree for first responder families and community partner organizations across Mississippi. Last year alone, FROM delivered gifts to more than 750 children, and over the past five years, we've touched the lives of over 1,000 kids. Every toy you bring becomes part of that legacy.

Honoring Those Who Serve

We'll pause to recognize the extraordinary individuals and organizations making a difference, with awards including:

• Champion in Recovery
• The Ruth Glaze Difference Maker Award
• The Rob England First Responder of the Year
• The Andy Petro Firefighter of the Year
• Community Organization of the Year

Join us as a Sponsor/Supporter this year.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our annual sponsors, whose support year after year keeps this tradition alive and growing for first responder families across Mississippi. We are endlessly grateful for their partnership.
