2003 Everyday Heroes Breakfast


Heroes surround each of us every single day. Family members, neighbors, co-workers and even strangers are quietly doing their jobs and making a difference in the lives of others. Join the American Red Cross and KY3 as we surround ourselves with everyday heroes at the Everyday Heroes Breakfast on Thursday, March 20, 2003. It is not necessary for heroes to have saved a life-only to have made a difference!

Everyday Heroes Breakfast Concept
The Everyday Heroes Breakfast was created out of the desire to host an event that relates to the mission of the American Red Cross-teaching people to save lives. The Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. 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 individuals who have shown courage, kindness and unselfish character in the Ozarks?

Goals

  • Recognize local acts of heroism
  • Honor the common, everyday citizen who makes a difference in the lives of others
  • Opportunities Associated With Everyday Heroes Breakfast

  • To create an awareness of our most valuable resource-people

Everyday Hero Honors
