The Red Cross is Seeking Nominations for Real Heroes from 12 Counties

The Chippewa Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is seeking nominations for Real Heroes who live in the Chapter’s 12-county jurisdiction. Nominations are requested for Real Heroes who live in the following counties: Barron, Buffalo, Burnett, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, Pepin, Pierce, Rusk, Sawyer, Trempealeau and Washburn. Nominations are due by/on August 15, 2008.

            The Real Heroes among us reflect what is best in your community. They are ordinary people whose actions demonstrate the potential that is in all of us. If someone is a hero in your eyes, we encourage you to nominate them today!

Selected Real Heroes will be honored at the Sixth Annual Real Heroes Awards Dinner celebration on Thursday, January 29, 2009, held at Florian Gardens in Eau Claire, Wis. This is an event that celebrates selfless acts of courage and kindness by real people in your community.

We are seeking nominations for Real Heroes in the following categories: Adult Good Samaritan, Youth Good Samaritan (under age 18), Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, Health Care, Community, Red Cross Hero of the Year, and Hero of a Lifetime (20+ years of service or good deeds).

For more information, or if you would like to nominate a real hero in your life, call Lois Ludeman at 715-834-4182 or 1-800-261-4182 to receive a nomination brochure.

Nominating your Real Hero is easy. Just fill out the nomination brochure, include two to three paragraphs written from the heart describing the act of courage or kindness and explaining why your hero deserves to be recognized. The paragraphs may be typed or handwritten. You may also include up to three documents, such as letters of support, news articles, or photographs.
