Join Us at the American Red Cross Heartland Heroes
2015 HEARTLAND HEROES NOMINATION FORM
The American Red Cross needs your help in identifying and recognizing heroes in the Greater Decatur area. Every day people do heroic acts that make our community a better place to live. These humble heroes collect food items for the local pantry, shovel sidewalks for elderly neighbors or use their CPR training to save a life. The Red Cross is seeking nominations for the 2015 Heartland Heroes – a special event to recognize and honor our local heroes. Nominations are being accepted in four categories: Youth, Armed Forces & Public Service, Good Citizen and Red Cross Volunteer. If you know a local hero, please take a few minutes to complete the Heartland Heroes nomination form and tell their story. The nomination deadline is February 13, 2015.
