“Thank a First Responder Day”

Tuesday 2 June 2020

FORTEM Australia will be coordinating “Thank a First Responder Day” to show their gratitude as a grateful community, and to publicly recognise the work of our first responders.

Keeping with current social distancing requirements, "Thank a First Responder Day" will this year be in a digital platform (www.firstresponderday.com.au) with a website message board encouraging the community to leave notes, pictures, and videos of thanks for our first responder.

"Thank a First Responder Day" is a day that belongs to the community and FORTEM Australia want as many members of our community to participate; to show just how much we, as a community, appreciate the work of our First Responders. We encourage you to create a video or social media post to thank first responders in your area and post it on the day.

Don’t forget to post your message of thanks on your social channels on 2nd June 2020 with the hashtags #TAFRD
#ThankaFirstResponder
