Today, We Pause to Remember September 11

Today, we want to pause our normal blogs and event posts to remember September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives that were lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who showed incredible courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

September 11 is a day of remembrance, but for us, it is also a day that reminds us to appreciate what we have.

At Riverside Pavilion, so much of what we do revolves around bringing people together. We get to watch families celebrate weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, fundraisers, community events, and some of life's biggest moments.

Today reminds us not to take any of that for granted.

We are incredibly fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to gather, celebrate, build businesses, support our community, and simply do life together.

And today, we especially want to thank the people who do all forms of life with us.

To all of our Preferred Vendors, local businesses, event professionals, clients, families, and friends who have walked through our doors over the years, thank you.

Thank you to our vendors for the amazing work you put into every event. Thank you for showing up, working long hours, supporting one another, and helping create moments that families will remember for the rest of their lives.

We feel incredibly blessed and lucky to know all of you and to be part of a community that continues to come together for one another.

Today, we remember and honor those who never got another ordinary day with the people they loved.

We honor those who ran toward danger to help others.

We remember the incredible unity our country showed in the days that followed.

And we take a moment to appreciate the people sitting beside us today.

From all of us at Riverside Pavilion, we will never forget.
