We send thanks to everyone who came out to help us make this very special event a success.
 As November was Veterans and Military Families Month, The Town released a new promotional video to recognize the efforts of all Knightdale residents who honor and support our local veterans. Produced by Amazing Studios, the video is a great statement of what our military families and heroes mean to the vibrancy of our town.

Extra Mile Award Recipient Named
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, “Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve.” The recipient of our very first Extra Mile Award is indeed a great Knightdale resident and community member. Sandi Dabrowski, the Chairperson of Community Gardens for the Two Green Thumbs Garden Club, has dedicated countless hours to beautifying our town’s gardens and mentoring gardening volunteers. Not only has she enhanced the landscape of our town, but she has also enriched the lives of the people around her. In the words of one Knightdale resident:
“What truly sets her apart is her spirit. She leads by doing. By showing up. By caring deeply. Even in tough moments, she brings strength, grace, and grit. Whether she’s navigating community logistics with staff or rolling up her sleeves to help a struggling volunteer, she does it with humility and heart. People gravitate to her because she makes everyone feel seen and valued. And because she shows us—by example—what community really means. Her impact is lasting, and her legacy of service continues to bloom in every corner of our shared space.”
We couldn’t have said it better. Join us in sending CONGRATULATIONS to our 2025 Knightdale Extra Mile Award recipient, SANDI DABROWSKI! We appreciate all you do for our community. Knightdale is a better, brighter place to live because of you!
