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.
