Name Your Santa Cruz County Hero!

Do you know a hero - someone whose extraordinary act of courage helped save a life?

The American Red Cross of the Central Coast is calling on all local residents and companies to nominate individuals and organizations who have made a difference in Monterey, San Benito, and/or Santa Cruz Counties.

These heroes, nominated by the public, will be recognized at the 2015 Central Coast Heroes Breakfast on May 13, 2015 at the Cocoanut Grove.

The event raises money for lifesaving programs and services provided by your local Red Cross Chapter.

The nomination deadline is February 28, 2015.

Visit redcross.org/centralcoastheroes for more information and nominate a hero today!
