Ottumwa, IA – The Indian Hills Athletic Department will host First Responders Appreciation Month throughout the month of January.

Throughout January, all First Responders – firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians will receive free admission to Indian Hills Basketball and Wrestling events. Those associated with First Responder groups can show their professional ID at the box office prior to any contest to receive a free ticket. In addition, First Responders can claim physical tickets at select areas throughout the region, including the Ottumwa Police and Fire Departments, the Centerville Fire Department, and MercyOne Hospital.

"Our first responders go above and beyond every day to serve and protect our communities," stated Brett Monaghan, Indian Hills Vice President, Student Development & Operations and Athletic Director. "We have a lot of people to be thankful for, and this is just a small token of our appreciation."

The Indian Hills Athletic Department will also seek to recognize individuals who go above and beyond as First Responders in their community. Fans wishing to recognize an individual Frist Responder for their service can nominate here: NOMINATE YOUR OUTSTANDING FIRST RESPONDER
