Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce Hosts Tribute to our Community Heroes

Rocky Mount, NC — The Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce is proud to have hosted a special Tribute to Our Community Heroes, an event dedicated to honoring the brave individuals who tirelessly serve and uplift our community. The event took place on September 25th and featured a Hot Dog Luncheon from 11am to 2pm, where community members came together to celebrate the courage and commitment of our heroes.

This tribute was especially meaningful as it marked our recognition of those who responded heroically to last year’s devastating tornado. Their swift and selfless actions exemplified true courage, and their tireless efforts laid the foundation for Rocky Mount’s recovery. The event honored first responders, emergency personnel, police, fire departments, medical teams, public works, volunteers, and every community member who played a role in guiding Rocky Mount through one of its most challenging times.

During the event, everyone enjoyed hot dogs. This celebration brought the community closer, as we reflected on the incredible bravery of those who continue to protect and support Rocky Mount.

The sponsors to thank for making this tribute event possible are as follows: Bright Leaf Hot Dogs, Sam's Club, ServPro of Rocky Mount & Tarboro, Steve & Elaine Wordsworth, City of Rocky Mount, NC, Poppies Bakery, Chick-fil-A Cobb Corners, Boddie-Noelle Enterprises, and Allegra Marketing Print Mail. A special shoutout to Tim Wilke and his staff at Belmont Lake Golf Club for ensuring they everything went smoothly and providing the perfect venue for this event. Their generosity ensured the success of this meaningful occasion.

Together, we have risen from the storm stronger than ever. Thank you to all the heroes who have shown us the true meaning of resilience and unity.
