On National First Responders Day, hundreds of police officers, firefighters, nurses, EMTs, and other first responder professionals from across America join First Responders Children’s Foundation at a Times Square ceremony.

The individual representing each first responder category is honored for their heroism and receives an award on behalf of all first responders in their respective fields. They are true heroes, representing the service and sacrifice of all in their profession.

FRCF organizes a spectacular lineup of performers, speakers, and presentations. This year, over 40 governors provided proclamations in support of National First Responders Day at the Times Square event, recognizing the dedication and bravery of first responders across the nation. The House of Representatives in Washington has already declared October 28 as National First Responders Day.
