The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York is seeking “Real Heroes” to be honored at the organization’s Real Heroes Breakfast on Tuesday, October 29, 2019. Do you know an individual or group in the greater Capital Region who has made a lifesaving impact in their community during the last year? Nominate them to be recognized by the Red Cross for their extraordinary service and bravery.
“We are fortunate in our community to have many amazing examples of lives being saved by ordinary people who find the courage to act in the face of emergencies,” said Gary Striar, Regional CEO for the American Red Cross. “These Real Heroes embody the Red Cross mission, and so we strive to seek out and celebrate their stories each year.”
Past Real Heroes include two police officers whose CPR training saved a 6-month-old baby; a young man who helped rescue survivors of a car crash; and a father and son duo who have collectively donated over 20 gallons of life saving blood. Any individual or group who has acted heroically to help change or save a life in the greater Capital Region may be nominated.
