The Cape Cod & Islands Heroes Breakfast is the only event of its kind: it recognizes heroes throughout our community who perform extraordinary acts of courage by saving someones life, helping in the rescue of someone in need, or who has committed countless hours of service to an organization or community. No other event highlights ordinary citizens doing extraordinary things- regardless of the organization or community they serve- and informs us of these amazing people who make this such a special place to live. This event, which has sold out almost every year, has more than 500 people in attendance and receives enormous media coverage due to its special nature. It runs from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. To learn more, visit www.redcross.org/ma/hyannis, or call (508) 775-1540. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies more than 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org.
