The Top of Virginia Regional Chamber has partnered with the local law enforcement and fire &\; rescue agencies in our region to host the Valor Awards\, recognizing public safety professionals\, volunteers\, and citizens who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in protecting our community. This summer\, public safety agencies nominated recipients they believe performed courageous and selfless acts\, and a committee consisting of local leaders will be selecting the award winners.

\nAs part of the Core of the Community Festival\, the Chamber will be kicking off the first night of events with the ninth annual Valor Awards event on Thursday\, September 2\, from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. The program will include dinner\, an awards ceremony including special guests Chris &\; Rosie from Q 102 / iHeart Media who will be our Masters of Ceremony\, and a special concert from local artists\, The Chris Darlington Band. The dinner menu will include BBQ Pork &\; Chicken from our local Shaffer'\;s Market in Middletown\, Va.
