The American Red Cross Cape Cod and Islands Chapter and Cape and Islands United Way will be honoring Bill Murphy of Centerville as a United Way Hero during the 10th Annual Heroes Breakfast. The event will be held at the Resort & Conference Center in Hyannis on March 30, 2012, from 7:00-9:00 am. Tickets for the Breakfast are available via www.cciredcross.org, www.uwcapecod.org or by calling (508) 775-1540 ext. 21.

Murphy is founder of Cape Cod Charitable Fundraisers, better known for its signature events: The Last Gasp, Roll the Rock, and The Spectacle of Trees. For the past 21 years, Murphy has grown what was an end-of-summer bicycle ride among two or three friends into an organization that has raised millions of dollars for health and human service and arts and cultural not-for-profit organizations across the Cape. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to the local community, Murphy has raised funds from enjoyable and attractive events. The attention to detail that Murphy shares with our community has benefited thousands through engaging volunteers and fostering collaboration among not-for-profit organizations to enhance and support the quality of life for all of us who call Cape Cod our home.

The public is invited to join the American Red Cross, Cape and Islands Chapter and the Cape & Islands United Way on March 30th to honor Bill Murphy, along with many other heroes from Cape Cod at the 10th Annual Heroes Breakfast. Tickets for the Breakfast are available via www.cciredcross.org, www.uwcapecod.org or by calling (508) 775-1540 ext. 21.
