An act of heroism does not need to involve the direct saving of a life. In order to be eligible for nomination, the heroic act must have taken place in, or the hero must live, work, or go to school in the area served by the American Red Cross of the Tri-States: Dubuque, Clayton, Allamakee, Howard, and Winneshiek Counties in Iowa and East Dubuque in Illinois.
Everyday Heroes of the Tri-States is proudly sponsored by Dupaco, The American Red Cross of the Tri-States; KWWL; and KAT-FM, The Rock, KDTH, and The River radio stations.
About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters at home and abroad, collects and distributes nearly half of the nations blood supply, teaches lifesaving skills, and supports military members and their families. The American Red Cross, a charity and not a government agency, depends on voluntary contributions of time, money and blood to perform its humanitarian mission.
