The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks and @LosDbacks) will celebrate first responders from across Arizona this Sunday during First Responders Day at Chase Field. The D-backs will also pay tribute to those who lost their lives during the events on Sept. 11, 2001 with a moment of silence.
This Sunday is open to all first responders, their families and anyone who supports and honors those who serve our communities. The D-backs will recognize first responders throughout the game and Police and Fire Pipe & Drum band will perform on the field before the game. City of Phoenix Police Department Commander Paula Veach and, on behalf of APS, Air Force Major Dave McCaskill will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Carlton Smith from the West Virginia University Police Department will sing the national anthem.
Beginning at 10:00 a.m., fans will be able to explore several first responders vehicles, courtesy of APS, along the Gila River Casinos Plaza, including:
Fans will also be able to sign thank you cards to send to first responders at the APS booth, and at 12:30 p.m., there will be a bi-plane flyover on the Gila River Casinos Plaza.
In addition, every Sunday the D-backs and GEICO offers 50 percent off single-game ticket prices for all military active duty, reserve, retired and veterans, as well as active or retired fire and police personnel with valid ID. All-You-Can-Eat tickets are excluded from this offer and can only be redeemed for up to four tickets. For more information, visit dbacks.com/military.
