TO NOMINATION FORM
| The Ozarks is filled with Everyday Heroes and we invite you to help us find them!
This event was created out of the desire to develop an event that relates to
the mission of the American Red Cross-teaching people to save
lives. This is done through the simple, yet powerful process of
one person putting his or her needs aside to help another. Across
the nation, over one million Red Cross volunteers do this each
day. What better way to celebrate this spirit of humanitarianism
than by honoring those individuals who have shown courage,
kindness and unselfish character by their acts of heroism
throughout the Ozarks? |
