American Red Cross Humanitarian Awards

2013 NOMINATION FORM

Submission Deadline:  March 1, 2013

 

Do you know a local Humanitarian? They can be hard to classify, but each displays courage, dedication, concern or a conviction. They have that “something” that moves and inspires them to do more and to be more.

On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, the American Red Cross will recognize individuals exemplifying courage, kindness and unselfish character at our 14th Annual Humanitarian Awards Luncheon. Local heroes will be selected from nominations submitted by the community.  These outstanding individuals should fall into one of the following categories:  1) Good Samaritan – Youth (18 and younger); 2) Good Samaritan – Adult; 3) Red Cross Volunteer-Disaster; 4) First Responder.

Please complete and return the form, along with a one page, double-spaced typewritten statement about your nominee.  Use the essay to tell a compelling story about why your nominee should be selected.

Nomination forms must be received by 4:45 PM, March 1, 2013.  Nomination forms become the property of the Red Cross and will not be returned.

The Humanitarian Awards judging committee will be comprised of civic and community leaders.  All nominations will be verified by a representative of the Red Cross.  Decisions are final.

Nominees must live or work in Anderson County.

If selected, nominees must be available for promotions events and able to attend the Humanitarian Awards Luncheon, Tuesday, March19, 2013, 11:30-1:00, at The Doubletree Hotel in Oak Ridge. The Red Cross will host each finalist and one guest (two guests for Youth finalists) at the luncheon.

All finalists must sign information release forms authorizing the Red Cross unlimited permission to use, publish and republish information about them and their likeness.

While many nominees exhibit lifelong heroic behavior, nominators must highlight at least one event or situation in the last two years.
