Dear Red Cross Supporters,                                                                                                        

The Mt. Baker Chapter's Annual Real Heroes Celebration is drawing near once again. This year's highly anticipated event is scheduled for November 13^th 2008.  On this evening the Mt. Baker Chapter will honor local community members who have been nominated by their friends or family as a Real Hero.

A Real Hero is an ordinary person. A Real Hero is a friend, family member, a neighbor, co-worker, even a trained professional that has gone above and beyond the ordinary. They have chosen to step forward and make a difference, possibly save a life. 

Acts of heroism are big and small.  They affect one person or an entire community.  Heroes step forward during fires and floods or other disasters. They respond at the scene of an accident, injury or health crisis.  They work to prepare or prevent disasters. Whatever the circumstance, these outstanding citizens deserve to be recognized. 

Each year the American Red Cross honors Real Heroes in our community.  Please support the Red Cross by joining us in honoring these Real Heroes by being a sponsor or by nominating someone you know as a Real Hero.  Your contribution will help us tell the stories of these outstanding community members while also supporting the work of the American Red Cross at a local level.

For information on how you can sponsor this event please email info@mtbredcross.org. To nominate someone you know to receive a Real Hero Award click here and tell us their story!

Sincerely,

Laura Fitzgerald, Public Support Coordinator
