2025 Holiday Social

We had an amazing turnout at our 3rd Annual Holiday Social at TopGolf! Reaching our target of nearly 30 attendees, we welcomed folks with a good time of connecting, networking, and many rounds of golf. It was truly heartwarming to see so many familiar faces, as many attendees brought collegues and loved ones, highlighting the close knit nature of our safety industry.

As part of our Community Give Back initiative, we collected a generous number of toys for the Toys for Tots foundation and food donations for families in Snohomish County. Thank you to everyone for your incredible support and contributions!

A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and made this event memorable. Please enjoy the photos capturing the beautiful moments from our Puget Sound community!
