American Red Cross Hometown Heroes 2013 NOMINATION FORM Submission Deadline: February 25, 2013
Do you know a Hometown Hero? Heroes can be hard to classify, but each displays — courage, dedication, concern, or a conviction — something that moves and inspires us to do more and to be more. On Thursday, March 14, 2013, the American Red Cross will recognize individuals exemplifying courage, kindness and unselfish character at our annual luncheon. Five 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-Hospital; 4) Red Cross Volunteer-Disaster; 5) 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, February 25, 2013. Nomination forms become the property of the Red Cross and will not be returned. The Hometown Hero 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 be from
Hamilton, Bledsoe, Grundy, Sequatchie, Rhea, Marion, Bradley, Meigs, McMinn,
Polk or Monroe counties. 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. We apologize, but the selected Survey is currently unavailable. |
