The American Red Cross of Western New York is seeking nominations for its 'Real Heroes' awards, which aim to recognize individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary courage, kindness, and selflessness in their community. On July 8, 2026, the organization announced that it is looking for 'Real Heroes' to honor at an upcoming event.
"We are excited to recognize the everyday heroes who make a difference in the lives of others," said a spokesperson for the American Red Cross of Western New York. The 'Real Heroes' awards will be presented to individuals who have made a positive impact in their community, whether through a single act of bravery or a lifetime of service.
The American Red Cross of Western New York serves a wide range of communities, including Buffalo, where the organization has a long history of providing aid and support to those in need. The city's residents have always been known for their kindness and generosity, and the 'Real Heroes' awards are a way to recognize and celebrate these values. From the Canalside area to the Delaware District, the American Red Cross of Western New York is committed to serving all corners of the city.
The 'Real Heroes' awards will be presented at a special event, where the winners will be honored for their contributions to the community. South Buffalo homeowners, parents in the Williamsville district, and small business owners on Hertel Ave are all encouraged to nominate their friends, family, and colleagues for the 'Real Heroes' awards. The deadline for nominations is approaching, and the American Red Cross of Western New York is urging everyone to submit their nominations as soon as possible. The 'Real Heroes' awards ceremony will take place on a date to be announced, and the community is invited to attend and celebrate the winners.
The event will be a chance for Buffalo residents to come together and recognize the everyday heroes who make their city a better place to live.
