If you know an everyday hero, someone who has performed an extraordinary act of courage or dedicated countless hours to a special cause, The American Red Cross wants to know about them. The Red Cross is looking for those unheralded and selfless citizens who have gone above and beyond in their everyday lives.
A hero from both Iowa and Nebraska will be honored during halftime at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City when the Iowa Hawkeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers play in the Heroes Game on Friday, November 23rd.
People who are nominated to be a hero must be at least 18 years of age and live, work or go to school in Nebraska or Iowa; however, their act of heroism or good deed need not have occurred in the state. Recipients will receive tickets to the game and on-field recognition. They also will have their name and hometown inscribed on the Hy-Vee Heroes Game trophy.
Nominations for heroes are being accepted now through September 30 on their website. You can nominate someone here.
