San Diego and Imperial Counties are home to everyday heroes—neighbors, coworkers, first responders, and even young people—who’ve made a difference through acts of courage, kindness, or lifesaving action.
Now, the American Red Cross of San Diego and Imperial Counties is asking the public to help shine a light on these individuals and organizations by nominating them for the 23rd Annual Real Heroes Awards.
“Heroes don’t always wear capes. As we seek nominations for this year’s Real Heroes Awards, we need the public’s help to identify hometown heroes we can celebrate for their contributions,” said Sean Mahoney, Regional CEO of the American Red Cross Southern California Region.
Nominations are open now and can be submitted online at no cost. The deadline to nominate a hero is Monday, July 14, 2025.

Honorees will be recognized in the following eight categories:
Animal Welfare Hero Corporate Hero Disaster Services Hero First Responder Hero Gift of Life Hero Good Samaritan Hero Service to the Armed Forces Hero Youth HeroDescriptions of each category can be found on the Red Cross website.
Now in its 23rd year, the Real Heroes Awards celebrate individuals and organizations whose actions reflect courage, compassion, and a commitment to community. Since its launch, hundreds of local heroes have been honored for making a lasting impact.
This year’s award recipients will be celebrated during a special breakfast ceremony aboard the USS Midway Museum on Friday, Sept. 26.
Heroes are nominated by the public and selected by a committee that evaluates each nominee based on how their actions uphold the Red Cross’s humanitarian mission and positively affect the community.
