These are unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on individuals, families, businesses, and communities. Almost none of us have been untouched.

To get fall sports or even spring sports, we're all relying on the heroic efforts of community servants and first responders, as we already do for so many things.

To show our appreciation to those first responders, we are offering the first year of an annual subscription to HawgBeat.com for $25.00 (normally $99.95).

If you are one of the first 300 takers, you will also receive a free BreakingT.com gift code that can be used on any item on the site (up to $28.00 off).

All you have to do is email HawgBeat managing editor Nikki Chavanelle at nchavanelle@yahoo.com. In the e-mail subject line include the title "First Responder Subscription" and in the e-mail itself include your full name and your first responder branch.

We will respond to your email with a promo code and a link for you to complete your signup.

This is a discount of almost $75 for your first year (ONLY $25) and the first 300 sign-ups receive a free BreakingT.com gift code (valued at $28!).

WHO QUALIFIES AS A FIRST RESPONDER?

If you have a question then don't hesitate to reach out and ask but sanitation workers, public works employees, police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, paramedics, military personnel, and others may qualify.

Thank you for your service during these difficult times.
