Nominate a Lehigh Valley Hero

All hero nominations must be received by Nov. 10, 2024, to be considered for the 2025 event. The heroic actions/service should have occurred between Jan. 1 - Nov. 10, 2024 (with the exception of the Military Hero Category). However, a hero can be recognized for their actions over multiple years, before and including 2024. The nominee must either be from or currently residing in the Lehigh Valley, but their heroic action(s) could have taken place anywhere. There may be more than one award recipient in a single category and not all categories may be represented.
