The Hometown Hero Award celebrates our military and first responders who risk their lives for the well-being of our community.

Recipients are honored with a news piece, a commemorative Wind Surge jersey, and four tickets to a Saturday home game at Riverfront Stadium, where they will be recognized on the video board.

Qualifying nominees include law enforcement officers, firefighters, medical workers, active-duty military and veterans who exhibit selfless leadership, bravery, and an unconditional dedication to their community.
