SERVPRO Set to Kick Off Fifth First Responder Bowl
Hometown heroes are the focus of annual college bowl game
set for Dec. 27
Lake Stevens, WA (Grassroots Newswire) December 15, 2022 - In
recognition of the service and sacrifice of thousands of first responders
nationwide, SERVPRO will host the fifth annual SERVPRO First Responder Bowl at
SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The University of Memphis Tigers
will face off against the Utah State University Aggies. Kickoff is set for
December 27, 2022, at 3:15 Eastern Standard Time on ESPN.
"This game shines a spotlight on hometown heroes across the country,"
said Paul Leavens, a disaster restoration specialist with SERVPRO of North
Everett/Lake Stevens/Monroe. "We are proud to be part of a company that
honors all first responders for willingly putting the welfare of others ahead
of their own personal safety."
Nationwide, SERVPRO franchises, including North Everett/Lake Stevens/Monroe,
were asked to submit the name of a first responder from their hometown to be
considered for special recognition at the game. This year, SERVPRO is honoring
Cpl. Phillip Zonn and POFC. Geobani Guerra of the Prince George's County
(Maryland) Police Department. Zonn and Guerra were both separately traveling
home from their shift when they approached a vehicle that had been involved in
an accident. The two officers bravely worked to cut the unconscious and injured
driver free from the burning vehicle before it was engulfed in flames.
The First Responder Bowl caps off a year of significant support from SERVPRO
for first responder communities across the country. Following Hurricane Ian,
SERVPRO, in partnership with First Responders Children's Foundation (FRCF), a
nonprofit organization that aids the children and families of first responders,
provided $150,000 in financial grants to 80 first responders affected by the
storm. (https://1strcf.org/ian/). In
addition, SERVPRO performed, at no charge, mitigation services to begin
restoring the homes of ten first responders affected by Ian.
SERVPRO is also celebrating community and individual participation in the game.
First responders nationwide will enjoy the game with first responder tailgate
boxes, filled with tailgate goodies, purchased by their local SERVPRO
franchisee and delivered to their local fire stations and public safety offices
in time for the game. Fans in the Lake Stevens area can show their support for
first responders by taking and posting a selfie with the hashtag #MySelfieGives
while watching the game in person or on TV. SERVPRO will donate $100, up to
$25,000, to the FRCF for each selfie posted during the game.
Tickets for the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl are available now at https://www.firstresponderbowl.com/ticket-op.
First responders are eligible for up to four complimentary tickets to the game.
SERVPRO, as a presenting sponsor, also honors first responders at 12 additional
bowl games, including the Armed Forces Bowl and the Frisco Bowl, with the
"Honor a Responder" award.
