This annual, nationwide event hosted by local police departments, is a community outreach program to help promote safety within the community and foster positive connections with police and first responders.
Last year’s event in South Brunswick, NJ, was a great success, and a record-breaking 8,200 people attended! The monumental community turnout and support from local businesses and organizations earned South Brunswick first place out of all the nation’s celebrations. The Hermann tent showcased a tractor and one of our wrapped trailers, a magician, and fun branded giveaways like sunglasses, fidget spinners, and golf stress balls.
This event was also a fantastic opportunity to connect with local businesses and community members. Afua Adjekum, Assistant Controller, who volunteered at the event, recounted her experience. “Working as a volunteer last year was such a rewarding experience!” said Afua. “It was an honor representing and talking about Hermann and the services we offer as a company. Meeting new people, getting compliments about Hermann, and getting the Nomad pizza truck, plus we had some really cool gifts – I still wear my sunglasses!”
Recruiting Manager Kelly Baureko, who was also a volunteer at the 2023 event, perfectly captures the enthusiasm she felt: “National Night Out with Hermann last year was so much fun! The evening was perfect, with fantastic weather and a wonderful atmosphere. We had a great time meeting and greeting the residents of South Brunswick. It was a pleasure to showcase our truck and connect with the community on a personal level. The event was incredibly enjoyable, and I can’t wait to do it again this year!”
Building on last year’s experience, we’re excited to return to support the 2024 National Night Out event. We plan to bring a Nomad pizza truck, and several other new goodies to hand out at our tent. Come say hi and celebrate community partnerships with us!
