Nominate A 'COVID Hero' To Be Honored At Brooklyn Borough Hall

BROOKLYN, NY — Do you know a Brooklynite or organization who stepped up during the coronavirus crisis?

Eric Adams wants to know about it.

The Brooklyn borough president has scheduled a second round of awards for "Brooklyn's COVID Heroes," an initiative aimed at recognizing heroism from those who helped the borough during the pandemic.

The first round of awards celebrated 80 people and organizations at Borough Hall with a ceremony last month.

This round, Brooklynites can nominate "individuals, groups, and organizations whose generous efforts directly contributed to the safety and well-being of Brooklyn’s residents and institutions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic" through a form online.

The ceremony will be held Nov. 10 at Borough Hall. The nominations deadline is Oct. 30.

Read more about the first ceremony — which included a 12-year-old who donated her allowance, a "Hamilton" star mobilizing Broadway designers and others — here.
