The Greater Naples Chamber is excited to host the 2025 Distinguished Public Service Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 12. This annual celebration of first responders begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Hilton Naples, 5111 Tamiami Trail North.
Established in 2003, the Distinguished Public Services Awards recognize the outstanding contribution of an individual or team in law enforcement, fire and emergency services. This annual event is a chance for business and community leaders to recognize the contributions of first responders to the overall well-being of Collier County.
“This annual event brings our business community together to honor the extraordinary men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping Collier County safe,” said Kristina Park, president and CEO of the Greater Naples Chamber. “Their dedication and service embody the spirit of our community. We are excited for the opportunity to celebrate their contributions and express our gratitude for all they do to make this one of the best places in America to live, work and play.”
This year, the Greater Naples Chamber has chosen to recognize eight individuals for their heroic actions while on duty:
• Law Enforcement: Cpl. Michael Chapman and Sgt. Byron Tomlinson with Collier County Sheriff’s Office
• Fire & Rescue: Cpt. Adam DiSarro, Engineer Casey Canady, Firefighter/Paramedic Brooke McDermott with North Collier Fire Rescue
• Emergency Medical Services: Battalion Chief Concetta DiSarro, Lt. Kyle Fabregas and Paramedic Tony Bevis with Collier County Emergency Medical Services
The Greater Naples Chamber partners with the Collier County 100 Club to review and select the honorees. This awards program fits their mission of financially assisting first responders and their families in times of tragedy.
“We are extremely proud to partner on this momentous celebration honoring those men and women who are serving heroically in the field,” said Patrick O'Connor, board chair for the Collier County 100 Club and a member of the Greater Naples Chamber Board of Directors. “Their courage, professionalism and steadfast commitment remind us of the power of service and the importance of coming together as a community.”
