The first annual Red & Blue United – A Sugar Land First Responders Tribute, hosted by The Finest and Bravest Foundation of Sugar Land, took place on Sunday, October 15th. Prior to the event, co-chair Debbie Marcell promised us all that it would be a “boot-scootin good time.”
It was!
The evening kicked off with a fabulous dinner for VIP guests, followed by a short program, and it ended with country music sensation Aaron Watson…raising over $475,000 for Sugar Land’s first responders.
Co-chair Scott West says, “Most of us take our first responders for granted. We know they’ll be here for us when we need them. Red & Blue United is all about showing appreciation and honoring and respecting our Sugar Land Fire, Police, and EMS departments.” Funds raised will be allocated to three different areas: equipment, educational opportunities for first responders and their families, and a compassion fund to assist in meeting the urgent needs of first responder families when other resources are not available.
“A big shout out to Smart Financial Centre,” says co-chair KK West. “They hit every curve ball thrown their way, and truly partnered with us, making Red & Blue United a huge success.”
“If you didn’t join us this year, you truly missed out,” adds co-chair Marvin Marcell. “The evening was both touching and filled with entertainment and excitement. We’ll be doing it again and again for many years to come. We’ll see y'all next year!”
Many of our Guests wanted to make a donation.
