The Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center proudly announces The Center Honors, a heartfelt ceremony recognizing the outstanding service and leadership of Black and Brown fire chiefs—past and present—from East Hampton to Southampton.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at 10 AM-12 PM at The Center, located at 551 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton, NY. This special gathering will bring together honorees, their families, elected officials, fellow firefighters, and community members to celebrate the legacy and impact of these trailblazing public servants.
This year, we are proud to honor Alex Verdugo, Dudley Hayes, and Jamalia Hayes of the East Hampton Fire Department; Anthony Stevens, Emmanuel Escobar, and Polis Walker of the Southampton Fire Department; and Nicholas Hemby and Thomas Jenkins of the Bridgehampton Fire Department.
