Description

The 2026 First Responders Recognition Event will honor the men and women who selflessly serve our community every day—protecting the place we live, learn, work, and play.

This year's event will celebrate not only Boynton Beach’s Fire Rescue, Police Department, and Paramedics, but also the brave individuals from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, and County Paramedic teams. These are the unsung heroes of our community—the first to arrive, the last to leave, and the steady, reassuring presence we rely on in our most vulnerable moments.

The event serves as a powerful reminder that behind every emergency call is a real person answering with courage, skill, and compassion. As Boynton Beach and the surrounding county continue to grow, the work of these first responders becomes even more vital. Honoring them is not just a gesture—it is a community responsibility.

This year’s recognition ceremony promises to be a moving celebration of service, unity, and gratitude. It is an opportunity for residents, businesses, and civic leaders to stand together and say, simply but profoundly, thank you.
