Awards & Recipients

Recognition of some of the Atlanta Area’s Finest Police Officers and Firefighters

Every year, the 300 Club of Atlanta hosts a formal recognition ceremony to honor some very special people. People who define “above and beyond” through the service they provide to our community. Our city truly would not be the same without them! During the gala, each individual receives an award for their outstanding service.
