LOCAL HERO PROGRAM

The Rotary Club of Waterdown has partnered with the Waterdown Business Improvement Area (BIA) for a 20-day program recognizing local heroes, people who have gone above and beyond during this pandemic.  They may be volunteers, healthcare workers, or other local essential workers and/or business employees. We're looking for stories of people who have gone out of their way to keep the rest of us stay safe, fed, well, learning, entertained, and informed.
 
Names of ALL nominees will be posted on the Local Hero Wall on the BIA & Rotary Club’s websites.
 
We hope to receive many nominations to be able to tell some great local stories. (Heros of Waterdown Village HOWV!) Postcards about the program were mailed to local residents in early May.
 
The stories of 20 selected nominees will be shared on social media and each of those individuals will receive two $50 gift certificates to a BIA business of their choice - one to keep for themselves and one to donate to someone who has struggled through the COVID-19. The Rotary Club of Waterdown will match the BIA's contribution to help us provide $2,000 worth of BIA gift certificates to featured heroes and their selected 'pay it forward' recipients.
