Each year, we recognize remarkable individuals who have performed extraordinary acts—whether by saving lives or embodying the spirit and mission of the American Red Cross in other meaningful ways.
Nominees must live or work in Los Angeles County, although their heroic acts may have taken place elsewhere.
The 2026 Hero nomination period has closed, and we’re excited to begin accepting nominations for our 2027 Heroes.
Every Spring, our community comes together to honor the extraordinary individuals who step up to help others in times of need. If you missed our recent celebrations, or want to revisit those inspiring moments—follow these links to relive past events and be reminded of what makes our community special.
