Some heroes wear uniforms and have professions that test them every day. Some heroes are volunteers who answer a call and find themselves at an incredible, life changing and life saving moment.

The Heroes Breakfast was established to raise public awareness of local heroes whose actions support the mission of the Red Cross.

The first annual Heroes Breakfast was held on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 and honored 13 local heroes who made a simple, yet powerful decision to put their personal needs aside in order to help others.

Mark your calendars now for our second annual Heroes Breakfast to be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2009.
