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 their needs aside to help another. Across the nation, over one million Red Cross volunteers do this each day. And, right here in the Reno Area over 300 hundred dedicated volunteers contribute their time and energies to assist those in need. In order to celebrate this spirit of humanitarianism, the American Red Cross honors individuals who have shown courage, dedication and unselfish character by their acts of heroism in our community.
Please join us as we honor local “everyday heroes” who reflect the mission of the American Red Cross by making our community a safer and better place to live and work. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are still available for this awe-inspiring event.
All proceeds from the Real Heroes celebration will remain in the area to ensure your local Red Cross is able to provide emergency assistance to local families affected by disasters, assist members of the Armed Forces and their families and teach the community emergency preparedness and lifesaving skills.
For more information about tickets or sponsorships, please call (775) 856-1000 or stop by your local American Red Cross office at 1190 Corporate Blvd., Reno.
