Rewarding Responders, a Wayne County non-profit organization, recently awarded a Johnston County Emergency Services captain and her daughter with a vacation to Disney World.
Allison Bissette and her daughter Avery received an all-expenses-paid, weeklong vacation to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., courtesy of the non-profit.
“Disconnecting from the tasks and responsibilities of everyday life is something that is so important for our families- and our main goal” said Mallory Dumond, founder and president of Rewarding Responders. “We hope with our trips, we can help lighten the selfless burden that our community first responders carry” says Mallory.
The vacation included lodging, admission to all four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, food and beverages, souvenirs, and even exclusive experiences. Rewarding Responders exists to reward first responders and their families with all-expenses-paid vacations. Family vacations afford first responders time to unplug, reset, build family bonds, and create lifelong memories with their families. Family vacations are made possible by grants and tax-deductible donations from supporters from all over the country.
Nominations for Rewarding Responders 2025 First Responder Family Vacations will open early in 2025. For more information and to support, visit RewardingResponders.org.
