A Call for Heroes Table Sponsors

Real Heroes Save Lives

History
The annual Heroes Breakfast began 15 years ago to recognize those whose actions resulted in saving the lives of others. In addition, it serves as the signature fundraising event for Southwest Washington American Red Cross. The Heroes Breakfast grew out of the desire to develop an event that closely aligns to the Red Cross mission: saving lives through prevention, preparedness, and response. The program honors ordinary people who have performed extaordinary heroic actions within the community in Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania, Klickitat, Pacific and Wahkiakum counties.

The Real Heroes Breakfast is March 9, 2012
Downtown Vancouver Hilton Hotel
7:00 am to 8:45 am
Our thanks to our 2012 event sponsors.

How to Leverage Your Gift
This is our only public fundraiser, held once a year.  The event's success depends not only on your sponsorship, but also on who you invite as your guests.  We would like the audience filled with people who, after hearing the Red Cross stories, will be inclined to give generously to forward our mission.  Even if the donation is small enough to cover the cost of the breakfast, the event benefits.

For your convenience, we can invoice you for your sponsorship or you can simply send us a check by the event date.  Your sponsorship is 100% deductible as a charitable donation.

We invite your company to be a partner in this community event.
