On Friday, March 8, 2024, the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber held their Annual Awards Dinner and Auction where we honor our Firefighters and Police Officers of the Year.  Our theme this year was "Tropical Paradise," and it was presented by our "The Big Kahuna Sponsors," AT&T, BAYER, and SERVPRO-Team Chestnas.

We had a packed house with 182 people registered. Everyone enjoyed a great evening of food, drinks, music, photo booth, fabulous auction items, and the awards presentations at Orlando's Event and Conference Center.

Obviously, the highlight of the evening was honoring our First Responders of the Year. This year we gave an additional special award to Chief Ron Battelle with BackStoppers. We presented him the First Responder Service Award in appreciation for his exceptional service to our First Responders, their Families, and our Community. We also presented two Firefighter of the Year awards from the City of Olivette and Creve Coeur.  As well as, three Police Officer of the Year awards from the Creve Coeur, Olivette, and St. Louis County. We are extremely grateful for our First Responders and all the ways they serve and protect our community everyday!
