Freres Family Fun Day 2025 was a huge success! Our Hawaiian-themed celebration brought out nearly 475 employees and family members for an unforgettable day filled with entertainment, hands-on activities, delicious food, and plenty of aloha spirit.
We’re incredibly proud of the turnout and even more grateful for the teamwork that made it all happen. Events like this don’t come together on their own. From early morning setup to end-of-day cleanup, every hand made a difference.
