Law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, hospital personnel and other emergency responders from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will be honored at a dinner at Jan. 24, 2015. The event is organized by the Trauma Intervention Program, which provides volunteers to help people after fires, car wrecks, crimes and other emergencies. Within minutes after being notified by 911, TIP volunteers respond to natural and violent deaths, fires, homicides, domestic violence and other events. They provide emotional and practical support to victims, as well as information about funeral homes, medical examiner procedures and military notification numbers. It is being sponsored by the Studer Foundation. Community leader Quint Studer also has offered to help find people who will serve on TIP’s board of directors. The event will be held at Pensacola Yacht Club, 1897 Cypress St., Pensacola. A silent auction at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:45 p.m. TIP holds the dinner each year to honor emergency responders who go “above and beyond the call of duty” to help victims. The 2015 dinner will recognize a wide variety of people from local agencies. TIP, a non-profit group with no paid employees, also responds to Pensacola Regional Airport whenever the remains of fallen military members are returned home. TIP welcomes sponsors who want to give items to be sold at a silent auction. The local website is www.tip-ser.org.
