The American Red Cross of Wisconsin is accepting nominations for 2018 Hero Award recipients. Each year, the American Red Cross recognizes everyday heroes in our community at three events in Wisconsin: Evening of Heroes in Wisconsin Dells, Heroes Breakfast in Altoona, and Brave Hearts in Milwaukee.
Our three events recognize individuals who have done extraordinary deeds in the community! Whether they’re stepping up during a medical emergency to provide assistance or helping others through a lifetime of volunteerism, heroes reflect what is best about our community.
Do you know of anyone that should be recognized? If so, please nominate them for one of our three hero events across the state! Details and categories vary by event. For more information about our events, please click the links below:
