Know someone who performed an act or courage to save or attempt to save a life?

The awards “recognize members of the local community who have shown courage, dedication, and character through acts of heroism and kindness. These people could be your neighbors, co-workers, friends, or family,” according to spokesperson Pooja Trivedi in a press release.
