On Sunday, September 11, 2022 the Rotary Club of Concord held its annual Al Filipov Award ceremony at One Concord Farms. As in past years, we honored our first responders who sacrifice each day for the protection and safety of our community. Concord Fire Chief Tom Judge presented Firefighter Christopher Hunter of the Concord Fire Department with the Al Filipov Award for Courage and Service and Police Chief Joseph O’Connor presented Sergeant Jeffrey Young with an Al Filipov Award for Courage and Service. A donation to the Shriners Children’s Hospital, Hunter’s designated charity, was made in the Concord Fire Department’s name.  A donation to Autism Speaks, Young’s designated charity, was made in the Concord Police Department’s name. Family, friends, Rotarians and fellow firefighters and police enjoyed the reception in the beautiful outdoor setting.
