Thank you to over 700 community and business leaders from the San Diego and Imperial Counties communities who joined the American Red Cross San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter at the 9th Annual Real Heroes Breakfast to honor the recipients of the 2011 Real Heroes Awards in 10 categories: Adult, Animal Rescue, Company, Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Media, Medical, Military, Youth and the Wendell Cutting Humanitarian Award.
“It is a privilege to honor this year's heroes for their contributions to our communities,” said Joe W. Craver, CEO of the San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter of the American Red Cross. “Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for making this community celebration possible.”
This year’s winners included a corrections officer who saved his co-worker’s life by donating a kidney and a thirteen-year-old who saved his best friend’s life after being trained in CPR.
Keynote Speaker RADM Garry J. Bonelli, who filled in for RADM Sean Pybus while he was attending a memorial for a fallen Seal, gave a moving speech touching on his experiences being the first and only reservist to ever command an active-duty SEAL team
Proceeds from the 2011 Real Heroes Breakfast will be directed to the San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter of the American Red Cross which will be used to provide much needed services to the communities of San Diego and Imperial Counties such as Disaster Response and Relief, Community Education and more.
