Each year this annual event honors community members who have demonstrated heroism through extraordinary acts of courage and humanitarian service and embody the spirit and mission of the American Red Cross through five lines of service – Disaster Relief, Blood Services, Service to the Armed Forces, Training Service, and International Service.
Our one-of-a-kind Heroes events are some of the best known and most beloved Red Cross events in the country. There is not a dry eye in the house as we celebrate incredible stories of strength, compassion, and heroism. These stories often remain untold until they are presented at our event, giving you the unique chance to discover never-before-heard stories and meet local heroes. This event is sponsored by many of the region’s leading philanthropic and corporate entities, raising critical funds to support the vital mission of the Red Cross.
Noon to 1:30 p.m.
The American Red Cross serving Greater Long Beach, South Bay, Metro and Southeast Los Angeles is proud to present the Hometown Heroes Awards Luncheon on May 18, 2023 at the Carson Community Center in Carson, California.
Each year, the American Red Cross serving Greater Long Beach, South Bay, Metro and Southeast Los Angeles honors individuals from across Los Angeles County who have demonstrated heroism through extraordinary acts of courage and humanitarian service. We call these selfless individuals Hometown Heroes.
The nominees are ordinary citizens, who go above and beyond to help their communities -from performing CPR when a stranger collapse at a shopping mall to pulling someone from a burning car or building and so much more. They jump into action in a moment’s notice without hesitation- they are a true Hero.
Sponsors of the Hometown Heroes Awards Luncheon will help ensure that we are able to respond to hundreds of home fires each year, provide help during wildfires and other local disasters, support our military service members and their families, provide safety and preparedness training for our community, collect lifesaving blood, and so much more.
