Red Cross Seeks Real Hero Nominations

Every day we are surrounded by heroes, and each year the San Diego branch of the Red Cross honors local individuals and organizations that have made a difference through its Real Heroes Breakfast.

Starting now, the Red Cross is accepting nominations for the 13th Annual Real Heroes event.

To submit a nomination, visit the Red Cross website, email it events.sandiegoca@redcross.org, fax it to 858-309-1285 or mail it to the following address: 

American Red Cross
Attn: Real Heroes
3950 Calle Fortunada
San Diego, CA 92123

The breakfast, which features amazing stories, will be on Sept. 25 aboard the USS Midway Museum. Nominations are due no later than July 15.

Heroes are nominated by the public and are chosen by an awards selection committee made of local community and business leaders. They are selected based how much their actions in the community reflect the Red Cross' values, as well as the impact they will leave on residents.

Awards will be given in eight categories: adult, animal, community partner, fire/rescue, law enforcement, military, youth and the Wendell Cutting Humanitarian award.
