Red Cross seeks nominations of Everyday Heroes

     Do you know someone who has performed an extraordinary act of courage or dedicated countless hours to a special cause?

     The Northeast Iowa Chapter of the American Red Cross is looking for honorable and selfless citizens who have demonstrated heroism in their community. Everyday Heroes could be a first responder, a neighbor, a teacher, a friend, or even a stranger who did something above and beyond in service to others.

     An Everyday Hero is someone who has made a difference in any of the following categories: Animal Rescue, Education, Fire and Rescue, Good Samaritan (youth), Good Samaritan (adult), Health Care, Law Enforcement, Military, Professional Responder, Volunteer Community Impact, or Workplace Safety.

     The Everyday Heroes of Northeast Iowa breakfast will be held at the Holiday Inn in downtown Dubuque on March 15 at 7 a.m. The event is the area’s major fundraiser for the Red Cross.

     Nominations for the Iowa hero are being accepted through the Red Cross Iowa Region website: www.redcross.org/news/event/local/iowa/Everyday-Heroes-of-Northeast-Iowa.

     Everyday Heroes nominations will be accepted through Jan. 22.
