Meet the 2012 Heroes (coming soon)

The American Red Cross Roanoke Valley Chapter and WSLS 10 On Your Side are hosting A Celebration of Heroes, a community awards breakfast honoring local heroes for saving a life, performing an extraordinary act of courage or making a difference in the community.

On Tuesday, March 27, the heroes will be publicly recognized during the breakfast at the Sheraton Hotel (off Hershberger Road), at 7:30 a.m.

Heroes will be honored in the categories of Medical, Firefighter, Law Enforcement, Emergency Responder, Good Samaritan, Humanitarian, Community Impact, Workplace, Military and Education.

This is the eighth annual Celebration of Heroes event. The Red Cross and WSLS 10 requested nominations from the counties of Roanoke, Botetourt, Franklin and Craig; and the cities and towns therein. The heroic acts occurred between January, 2011 and December, 2011.

The proceeds from this event benefit the disaster relief work of the Red Cross in the Roanoke Valley. 

To purchase tickets, e-mail Nikki Brown or call (540) 985-3541.

Thank you to our supporters who help make A Celebration of Heroes possible.
