Heroes Breakfast Logo

Chances are you know a hero. Maybe more than one.
Please tell us about him or her and their heroic work. At the Twin Cities Red Cross, we see heroes in our community every day. With your help, we'll honor some of them at our second annual Heroes Breakfast. So send us your nominations for the Twin Cities Red Cross 2009 READY AWARDS.

 

There are all kinds of heroes. They are mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters, teachers, firefighters, police officers and everyday citizens who find themselves in the right place at the right time and place the safety and well being of others above their own. The 2009 Heroes Breakfast is a chance to honor local heroes who actions support the mission of the Red Cross. 

 

Nominate your hero for a 2009 Red Cross READY AWARD.

 

Plus, mark your calendars now to attend our Heroes Breakfast to be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at The Depot in downtown Minneapolis.
