35th Annual Valor Awards
An Inspiring Celebration
Save the Date
​​
Wednesday, December 10, 2025
7:30 – 9:30 AM
Greater Richmond Convention Center
​
Join us this December as we gather to honor the extraordinary courage and selfless service of our region’s first responders at the 35th Annual Valor Awards. This powerful event recognizes Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel who have gone above and beyond the call of duty—risking their own safety to protect and save the lives of others.
​
Celebrate Courage. Honor Service. Support Heroes.
Last year’s ceremony marked a milestone, with a record number of attendees and our highest-ever level of community support. We celebrated 16 first responders from seven departments across the region and recognized the lasting impact of their bravery, including a special tribute to Colonel Gary Settle upon his retirement from the Virginia State Police.
​
As we look ahead to this year’s awards, we invite you to mark your calendar and be part of a morning that uplifts, inspires, and connects. The 2025 ceremony will once again include moving stories of heroism, heartfelt recognition, and a renewed commitment to the wellbeing of those who serve.
​
Sponsorships are now available.
Your support makes this event possible and underscores your commitment to those who protect our community every day.
​
Stay tuned for registration details. In the meantime, please save the date and consider becoming a sponsor of this meaningful event.
