Tent CARES Day honors pandemic workers
ent manufacturers and rental
businesses around the U.S.
celebrated the frontline workers of the
COVID-19 pandemic on Aug. 29 with
barbeques, food truck fare and lots of
sweet treats.
Independent Tent CARES Day events
were hosted by members of the IFAI's
Tent Rental Division (TRD) and other
industry organizations. In addition to
honoring health care and emergency services workers, the event was designed to
showcase the use of tents as a safe space
to gather outdoors while maintaining social distance.
TLC Rents of Atlanta, Ga., partnered
with four barbeque restaurants and the
Atlanta chapter of the International Live
Events Association (ILEA) to provide
lunch for emergency medical technicians
and paramedics from Metro Atlanta
Ambulance Service, COVID-19 health
care workers from Wellstar Kennestone
Hospital and ϐireϐighters from the
Marietta Fire Department. Reuben
Ayoub, TLC Rents president, describes
the event as a huge success.
" We served around 150 meals to a
variety of Atlanta's frontline workers, "
Ayoub says. " Having closed for four
T
months due to the pandemic and only
partially reopened since Aug. 1, my entire team was thrilled to be able to do
this and show our support for frontline
workers. It was a wonderful experience
for everyone involved and it was so rewarding so see how much they appreciated our effort. "
Fred's Tents & Canopies Inc. of
Waterford, N.Y., teamed up with King
Brothers Dairy to honor ϐirst responders
and medical workers at a local hospital.
" On Aug. 28 and 29 we set a tent up outside
of Ellis Hospital to hand out ice cream, "
says Heather Frank, sales representative
for Fred's Tents & Canopies. " We handed
out three different ϐlavors of ice cream
in prepackaged bowls, and the response
from medical workers was great. "
In Norcross, Ga., staff members of Classic
Tents & Events provided popsicle
treats to frontline workers at Northside
Hospital. According to Steven Eisenstein,
Classic Tents & Events president, the
turnout was great, and the health care
professionals were very appreciative. " It
was a humbling experience and made
you realize how lucky we are to have so
many brave people going to work every
day, " says Eisenstein.
