The Valor Awards is an annual signature event of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. It was established in 2012 and serves to honor those individuals in the Fauquier County's Public Safety sector who have gone over and above the call of duty. The Valor Awards Committee works directly with the leaders of the Public Safety sector (Sheriff, Warrenton Police, Fire and Rescue and the State Police) to identify honorees. The committee members also assist in securing sponsorships for the event. This committee meets once a month starting 6 months prior to the event. The event is held the last Thursday in April.
