Please help Fred’s Tents and others to support the Tent Rental Industry Cares Day. The Tent Rental industry is supporting a nationwide “CARES” day to show appreciation to the front-line medical workers that have supported the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Our intentions are to help inspire the creation of dozens if not hundreds of these events nationwide. These events would be independently put together by members of ARA, IFAI, TRD, MATRA, other manufacturers, and those directly in the tent rental community. In addition to the significance of the appreciation event for the healthcare workers, there is an additional significance of the event itself. The hope is to focus these events in outdoor spaces utilizing tents and other event rental equipment and showing there are safe ways for people to gather. We are looking for industry-wide support of this concept including our trade associations, members, and non-members alike.
For Tent Rental Industry Cares Day, we will be doing “Scoops for Scrubs” at Ellis Hospital. We have partnered up with King Brothers Dairy and will be providing ice cream to front-line medical workers during their lunch breaks.
