Power of Red is the signature event of the American Red Cross Southwestern Pennsylvania Chapter. Power of Red recognizes community leaders and heroic individuals who embody our humanitarian mission. To nominate a hero, visit the nomination form below.
All hero nominations must be received by March 1, 2025 to be considered for the 2025 event. The heroic actions/service should have occurred between Jan. 1, 2024 and Dec. 31, 2024 (with the exception of the Military Hero category). However, a hero can be recognized for their actions over multiple years. The nominee must either be from or currently residing in western Pennsylvania, but their heroic action(s) could have taken place anywhere.
