Fairfax County First
Responder Basketball Game - George Mason
Intercollegiate Athletics Department in partnership with the Fairfax County
Police Department will present the "2012 Making a Difference Award" to PFC
Kevin Horan. In its first year being presented,
the award recognizes a first responder who gives back to their community
outside of their regular job duties.
Horan grew up locally and joined a police
youth Explorer program as a teenager. Today, as a police officer, PFC Horan
volunteers as the lead advisor with the Fairfax County Police Explorers
providing leadership and citizenship education to young men and women ages 14
to 20.
The Boy Scout Explorer Troop sold 200 tickets
to the game and will receive a check for $1,000 as part of the fundraiser. Tickets not used by purchaser were automatically given to
the soldiers and their families at Fort Belvoir.
The Color Guard and singer of the National Anthem are
provided by Fairfax County Police. First Responders night is an opportunity to
publicly thank and recognize all police, fire, EMS, sheriff, 9-1-1, and
emergency services workers for all they do to make our communities and families
safe.
