The American Red Cross Monterey Bay Area Chapter 2012 Heroes Dinner will be held on Saturday, May 19 at the Hyatt Regency Monterey.
The goal of the event is to recognize acts of heroism by local residents and pay tribute to those who have performed lifesaving deeds while supporting the local American Red Cross Chapter's life-saving programs and emergency services.
The Monterey Bay Area Chapter is currently seeking nominations for the Hero Awards, which recognizes members of the community who have shown courage, dedication, and character through acts of heroism and kindness. These people could be your neighbors, co-workers, friends, or family.
The Hero Award recipients will be selected by a committee of community leaders based on the degree to which their acts of heroism uphold the values of the American Red Cross and leave a lasting and positive impact on the residents of the Monterey and San Benito Counties, and heroes will be honored at the celebration.
All nominees must work or reside in Monterey or San Benito County; though the heroic acts may have occurred elsewhere. Nominees for the Hero Award must have performed an act or acts of courage to save or attempt to save someone's life. The heroic event must have occurred within the two year period between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011.
The deadline to submit nominations is February 28, 2012.
