The Sixth Annual First Responders Luncheon serves to honor our communities' police officers, fire fighters, EMS personnel, dispatchers, and other individuals who have provided exceptional response in an emergency situation. We invite you to join us in appreciation and support of the outstanding performance of our local heroes.
We are honored to have Dick Bremer from Fox Sports North as Emcee for the event. A Minnesota native, graduate of SCSU, Twins sportscaster since 1983, Minnesota Vikis pre-season football, and Minnesota State High School League State tournaments for football, boys and girls on Bob FM. Inducted into Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame 2013.
Our keynote speaker is Jon Gayken from HCMC. Dr. Gayken's interest in burn surgery began when he was a patient in Hennepin Healthcare's burn unit over 20 years ago while recovering from skin grafting on nearly 40$ of his body. His love for the outdoors began by spending countless time with this father in the north woods throughout childhood. Now as a father of four young kids, he has a desire to continue those traditions with his own family. "Doc's" name stems from his professional career as a Burn and Trauma surgeon in the Twin Cities. "I have a strong interest in both the acute and long-term psychological outcomes affecting burn paitens and their reintroduction into society. I have found caring for patients who rely on safety-net hospitals particularly rewarding and a special privilege." When he's not at the hospital, you can find him in a deer stand, on the lake or watching his daughter's play soccer. Ceder Hills, for him, is a way to dig his teeth into nature and conservation, while at the same time provide an amazing product for his customers to enjoy throughout all four Minnesota seasons. His dream is for his children to help run the business one day.
Music provided by Robert Robinson. Robert Robinson is reason to believe that the greatest music reaches every name and crosses every boundary, from audiences in the Pontiac Silverdome to troops in South Korea. Robert is ?God?s canary.? He has performed with Aretha Franklin, nine-time Grammy Award winner Andrae Crouch, Kenny Loggins, the Sounds of Blackness, Bobby McFerrin, Barry Manilow, Jermaine Jackson, and others. Robert served as Executive and Artistic Director of the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir for 20 years. (tccgospel.org) His Facebook Fan Page is the best way to keep up with his events and performances. Robert will sing the National Anthem joined by his long-time piano accompanist Sam Reeves.
50% of the proceeds benefit Minnesota Fallen Firefighters Memorial Association (MFFMA), Law Enforcement Memorial Association (LEMA), and The Front Line Foundation.
