Award of Valor honors Lakewood's finest

Published on September 25, 2024

Every November at the Award of Valor Luncheon, Lakewood invites residents and community leaders to take time to recognize Deputy Sheriffs, Firefighters and fellow residents who have demonstrated heroism and outstanding service to the community.

This year will follow that tradition, with a luncheon at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at The Centre.

The Award of Valor annual luncheon brings together over 400 people, including Lakewood residents, civic and business leaders, public safety professionals, Neighborhood Watch block captains, Sheriff's Station volunteers and Volunteers on Patrol.

Top officials from the Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff's Departments will speak and join the Lakewood community in a show of support and appreciation for local heroes and public safety personnel.

"This event is a great opportunity to say thank you to the Deputy Sheriffs and Firefighters who work hard every day protecting and serving us, and to the community volunteers who have gone above and beyond in the cause of public safety in Lakewood," said Mayor Todd Rogers. "If you are able, I hope you can join us at this wonderful and meaningful annual city event."

Reservations are required

Tickets for the catered lunch are $37 each and tables of nine are available if purchased by 5 p.m. on Oct. 16.

After that, tickets will be $47 each.

Order online with a card or mail in a check with list of attendee names to Lakewood City Hall.

Seats are not guaranteed after Oct. 23.
