Northeastern New York Heroes

Hilton Garden Inn, Troy, NY

On Tuesday, October 30, the American Red Cross of Northeastern New York will honor a new class of “Real Heroes” – individuals whose acts of service and bravery have helped save live in our community.

Join our host, John Gray of News10 ABC, along with event chairs Kate Otis and Laura Petrovic, for an inspirational morning to honor the selfless actions of these everyday heroes.
