Help the Red Cross honor local heroes
About our annual Heartland Heroes Dinner
Central Illinois is full of unsung heroes.
Your local Red Cross knows it’s important to recognize people whose commitment and courage make a difference. That’s why, every year, we honor those who stand out in a crowd at our Heartland Heroes Dinner.
Celebrate by nominating someone special today.
Nominate your 2010 Heartland Hero
Heroes are everywhere, if you take the time to look. In particular, the Red Cross wishes to recognize:
YOUTHS: Youths under 18 who show personal bravery or devotion to a greater cause. Think of outstanding students, scholars, athletes, Scouts and young leaders you know.
PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONALS: Health-care, military or public safety professionals who go above and beyond to answer the call to service. Think of the EMTs, doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, soldiers, sailors, Marines, Guardsmen or airmen you know.
GOOD CITIZENS: People in our community who display exceptional courage or dedication to a greater cause. Think of your friends and neighbors who devote their time and talent to serving the community.
In order to be considered for an award, the event and/or activities you are nominating this person for must have occurred in Peoria, Woodford, Tazewell, Marshall, Mason or Stark counties. Nominees will be judged by an independent committee of community leaders.
