American Red Cross North Country Chapter

Real Heroes Breakfast

October 7, 2015

The Hilton Garden Inn

Watertown, New York

Every now and then, an unselfish action on behalf of a neighbor, a

co-worker or even a stranger can change another persons destiny
and, at the same time, our own.
In that moment....REAL PEOPLE BECOME REAL HEROES!

Across the North Country

The North Country Chapters Real Heroes Breakfast
The Real Heroes Breakfast concept grew out of a desire to sponsor an event
closely related to the mission of the American Red Cross. 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 North Country,
dedicated volunteers contribute their time and energies to assist those in
need. In order to celebrate this spirit of humanitarianism, the American Red
character by their acts of heroism in our community.
Awards are given in the following categories: Fire Rescue, Law Enforcement,
Medical, 911Dispatch, Adult Good Samaritan, Youth Good Samaritan, Military,
Industrial Safety, Educator, Animal Rescue, Blood Donor and Good Neighbor.
