Everyday Heroes

The Oregon Pacific Chapter of the American Red Cross is excited to unveil a new signature, community event that will celebrate "Everyday Heroes" in our communities.  The events will recognize ordinary people and animals who have demonstrated extraordinary courage, service to the community, gone above and beyond the call of duty, or had a profound influence on others.  Everyday Heroes will benefit the life-saving work of the Oregon Pacific Chapter.

More than 93% of the 74,000 disasters the Red Cross responds to each year are fire related- that's approximately 180 a day.  Unlike other natural disasters, most home fires can be prevented.  The Red Cross is committed to teaching people the skills they need to prevent home fires, protect themselves should they experience a fire, and helping home fire victims.
