Are there any Tips & Tricks for the nomination?
Below are a few suggestions to help get you started write a Hero nomination and what our committee members are looking for when they make their selections:
There is no one definition of what makes a Hero, but most tend to be unsung Heroes who are quietly doing amazing work for the improvement of our community.
Please describe your Hero in a compelling manner that we can in turn tell to our fans at a game. Make sure to give details about how your Hero has dedicated their time to helping others. Inspire us so we can inspire our fans!
Please include as many facts and supportive data as possible, including how many people your Hero has impacted or how many hours of service they have committed.
Please emphasize the attributes or details that you believe help distinguish your Hero from other Heroes who are being nominated. Focus on what makes them different and special.
If your Hero has done a significant body of volunteer community work over a long period of time as opposed to a smaller duration of time, please include that.
Does your Hero have a clear passion to pay it back? Please include details about why they are so committed to giving back. We want to understand what makes your Hero the amazing person that you believe they are
