The American Red Cross Southern Tier Chapter Real Heroes Breakfast honors everyday heroes from across our footprint who have saved the life of another. Participate in this powerful, emotional event by sponsoring a hero award or nominating an unsung hero today.

All event proceeds support the critical work the American Red Cross does in the Southern Tier, from blood donation, Veteran/Military member support, training services and emergency response.
