BIG HEROES APPRECIATION VIDEO

Irving Hispanic Chamber Hosts Big Heroes Appreciation Day

The Irving Hispanic Chamber of Commerce brought together a number of sponsors and volunteers to honor all Irving First Responders, and all police and fire department employees, at the 7th Annual Big Heroes Appreciation Day. This was simply to show our appreciation and say thanks for all they do for our community every day.



They enjoyed a cookout at the Criminal Justice Center parking lot, and local leaders also expressed their gratitude for the work of these first responders.
