Red Cross Is Looking for Animal Heroes
Posted by Dustin Horton // March 12, 2011 // News
One More Category Needs to be Filled for Heroes Breakfast
The public response to identifying and nominating Local Heroes has been outstanding. Thank you! However one Hero category remains vacant – Animal Hero. So once again we are asking you to dig deep and try to remember a special dog, cat, bird, horse – any animal who has gone the extra distance and performed a heroic act, like saving a human life. However, no matter how small an act of courage, we’d like to hear about it.
Go to www.tompkins-redcross.org and fill in the Hero Nomination form posted on the site, or call 272-6582. Your special animal will be recognized at the April 29th Heroes Recognition Breakfast at TC3.
