SERVPRO

As first responders risk their lives performing rescues, ensuring public safety, and restoring vital services, many face the harsh reality that their own homes and families have suffered material losses from the recent storms. “That's why SERVPRO has partnered with the First Responders Children's Foundation to seed the SERVPRO Disaster Relief Fund with $100,000. Together, we have set a goal to raise $250,000 with every cent going to first responder families in need.” -Brett Ponton In support of National First Responders Day, please consider helping first responders’ families by donating today-->https://bit.ly/3BKOELM

Truly, honored to be in Times Square today for the National First Responders Day event, hosted by First Responders Children's Foundation and proudly presented by SERVPRO. Today, we recognized the remarkable dedication and bravery of first responders from across the country, who selflessly serve and protect our communities every day.   At SERVPRO, we see the vital role these heroes play and are deeply committed to supporting them. It’s inspiring to witness their stories of courage firsthand, and we’re grateful to be part of this event honoring their service. Thank you to each and every first responder for the work you do. Thank you to our SERVPRO teams represented today, Robert Holmes Robert Allen and Kelly Kordick . A special thank you to Jillian Crane and everyone with the First Responders Children’s Foundation for creating this platform to celebrate them.

On National First Responders Day, we recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who help keep us safe. Their dedication, whether through search and rescue, medical aid, protection, or firefighting often means putting themselves at great risk to help others in need. As witnessed in the recent hurricanes, the work of these brave teams not only saved countless lives but also provided a source of hope and safety for those affected by these destructive storms. Today, first responders from across America will join SERVPRO at a Times Square ceremony so that we may recognize their bravery, and the invaluable service they provide to our country.

This "Extreme Clean" was a slam dunk. Extreme situations call for extreme measures. A SERVPRO franchise tented this flooded gym floor to create a warm air pocket, helping to ensure a faster and more effective drying process to prevent further damage.

The SERVPRO HQ Chili Cook-Off was a sizzling success! Talented team members fired up their cooking pots, competing in categories including Best Traditional Chili, Best Non-Traditional Chili, and Best Soup. The creativity didn't stop at the stove, as contestants also vied for Best Table Decoration. In the end, winners took home prizes and bragging rights — all while raising money for United Way with a least $5 from every bowl sold!

The SERVPRO Firefighter Challenge World Championships are heating up, with action continuing through Saturday. One of the toughest sections of the course is the "Hose Advance," where competitors face a daunting 140-foot slalom run before pulling a firehose 75 ft. and then ending their run with a grueling 165 lb. manikin carry.

SERVPRO congratulates board member Julio Portalatin, who was recognized by Board Prospects as one of the "100 Hispanic Board Members Making a Difference" for Hispanic Heritage Month.   This month's issue of Board Recruitment, published in partnership with the Latino Corporate Directors Association, recognizes the contributions of top Hispanic directors across the United States.

Congratulations to SERVPRO Brand Ambassador Tim O'Neal on his FIRST WIN on the PGA Tour Champions last weekend with a two-shot victory at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic! We're thrilled to see Tim's hard work and dedication pay off. Please join us in celebrating Tim's incredible achievement!
