Every now and then, an unselfish and extraordinary action on behalf of a neighbor, a co-worker or even stranger can change another person's destiny and, at the same time, our own.

In an instant, Real People become Real Heroes!

The Real Heroes Breakfast concept grew out of a desire to present an event closely related to the mission of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. This is done through the simple, yet powerful, process of one person putting their needs aside to help another. And, here in Central & Northern New York dedicated volunteers contribute their time and energies to assist those in need. To celebrate this spirit of humanitarianism, the American Red Cross honors individuals who have shown courage, dedication and unselfish character by their acts of heroism in our community.

Please join us as we pay tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated life-saving acts of heroism, courage, kindness, and unselfish character.

Your support makes a difference to thousands of our very own neighbors who are helped through the emergency services, preparedness & education programs, and the heath & safety programs provided by your local American Red Cross.
