“I ran the idea of the event past all four of the chiefs of the departments about a month ago and all of them were supportive and appreciative of the YMCA wanting to host a function for local public safety/first responder employees,” Gary Niebur, president/CEO of the YMCA, said.

Niebur praised the men and women who serve in the two communities for doing such an outstanding job protecting and serving their communities. He said his was a way he thought the Edwardsville YMCA could express appreciation of that service.
