Each year, the American Red Cross of Southeast Tennessee honors individuals and groups for acts of great bravery, dedication and service to the community at the Heroes Luncheon, sharing the mission of the American Red Cross and raising the financial funding resources necessary to provide their core humanitarian services.
This year, six individuals will be honored in four categories for their service to the community. They are Conner Pearce, First Responder Hero; Macy Howell, First Responder Hero; Jason Greer, Humanitarian Hero; Amy Dickerson, Medical Hero; Jacob Gray, Youth Hero and Mason Chamberlain, Youth Hero.
Lt. Commander Tim White will be the keynote speaker. Lt. Commander White serves as Commanding Officer of the Navy Operational Support Center of Chattanooga. With his 13 years in the Navy, he has served in several command positions, and as evidenced on July 16, has risked everything to preserve the life of those he is charged to protect.
