At this year’s LENS IOP Awards Banquet, we had the privilege of recognizing outstanding members of our public safety community and dedicated local leaders whose service helps keep Isle of Palms safe, strong, and connected.

These moments remind us that behind every badge, title, and achievement are people, families, and a commitment to serving others.

📸 More photos from this unforgettable evening are now available on our website. Be sure to take a look and help us celebrate these deserving honorees.

Testimonial Tuesday ❤️

We are still feeling the energy from an incredible evening celebrating and supporting the men and women who serve Isle of Palms.

A heartfelt thank you to Craig Oliverius, Isle of Palms Fire Chief, for sharing such kind words about this year’s LENS Annual Banquet. From Doug Mills’ unforgettable stories to the volunteers, sponsors, families, and community members who made the night possible — this event was truly something special.

Hearing that our first responders felt celebrated, relaxed, and proud to be part of the evening means everything to us!

Here’s to community, gratitude, and another unforgettable year. 👏

The Big Cheese competition is fun… but the impact behind it is real. 💙

As our contestants raise funds ahead of the 2026 LENS Foundation Banquet, a portion of donations supports the LENS Education Scholarship Program — helping provide financial support for the children and spouses of Isle of Palms law enforcement officers as they pursue their education.

When you donate through your favorite Big Cheese contestant, you’re not only helping them climb the leaderboard — you’re helping support the families behind those who serve and protect our community.

Scan the QR code to view the live leaderboard, choose your contestant, and donate today.

We can’t wait to celebrate everyone at The Cheese Ball!
