“Every year when we select heroes we always think nothing can never top this and every year it does,” said Henderson “It’s very exciting you walk out of the breakfast and you are actually so inspired by the people in our community that go above and beyond.”

Currently American Red Cross is collecting nominations for the ten categories of heroes. The categories are Education Hero, Senior Adult Hero, Military Hero, Community Hero, Public Safety Hero, Work Place Hero, Faith Based Hero, Health Care Hero, Youth Hero, and Hero to Pets.

“We are actually looking for heroes and if you know someone in the community that has gone beyond and has done something in your life or the lives of people in the community and you would like to nominate them,” said Henderson.
