Someone who has done something extraordinary for someone else this year? Someone who has saved a life or responded courageously to a disaster? Now is your chance to honor them. The American Red Cross is seeking nominations for the 8th Annual Everyday Heroes Awards.
Every day ordinary people make extraordinary contributions by putting their needs aside to help others in our community. The American Red Cross is honored to salute these unsung heroes. Your hero might be a lifeguard who saved a drowning child, an ordinary citizen who performed CPR when a stranger collapsed at a shopping mall, or who saved a neighbor’s beloved pets from a fire.
The awards are presented by the Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross and Caesars Entertainment, with generous support from 8 News NOW, Nevada Public Radio and Desert Companion Magazine.
