About this Event

Welcome to the 1st Annual Veterans First Responder Award Show!


Join us for the 1st Annual Veterans and First Responders Award Show, an evening dedicated to honoring the men and women who serve, protect, and strengthen our communities.

Hosted by the SYOTOS Foundation, this special event will recognize outstanding individuals and organizations across Northwest Florida who have demonstrated exceptional service, leadership, and commitment to veterans and first responders.

During the evening, we will also pause for a special tribute to those lost during the Naval Air Station Pensacola tragedy and to the first responders, service members, and community members who answered the call that day and stood strong in the face of it. Their courage and sacrifice remain part of our shared story.

Guests will enjoy a catered dinner and formal awards ceremony in a setting that brings together community leaders, veterans, first responders, families, and supporters for a night of recognition, remembrance, and gratitude.
