Charity Events in Lawrence

The annual Douglas County KS First Responder Valor Awards Ceremony honors first responders whose actions often go unseen, yet make an extraordinary difference in the lives of others and in the strength of our community. Recipients of awards for valor are determined through a thoughtful committee process, ensuring each recognition reflects careful consideration and group input. The heart of the evening belongs to the stories themselves and the opportunity for Douglas County residents to show appreciation, stand in support, and say thank you in person.
