HEARTLAND HEROES DINNER
Central Illinois is full of unsung
heroes. The mission of the American
Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate
human suffering in the face of
emergencies. When we do this, we
not only change lives and save lives,
but we also help make heroes.
The people who carry out our
mission are heroes to those they
touch. They are ordinary people
who do extraordinary things to make
others’ lives better. The Heartland
Heroes Dinner was born out of our
desire to recognize such people right
here at home — in Peoria, Tazewell,
Fulton, Schuyler, Marshall, Mason,
Stark and Woodford counties — and
to inspire others with their stories.
The 2014 dinner will be Saturday,
April 11 at the Peoria Civic Center
arena. A reception begins at 5:30 p.m.
with the program and dinner at 6:30
p.m. The special guest is Sara Evans
country music star. Her concert will
begin at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $150 each. Sponsorships
also are available. For more
information or to order tickets visit
