| 2008 Real Heroes Breakfast On Thursday, September 4, 2008, the Willamette Chapter of the American Red Cross will honor local citizens at the fourth annual REAL HEROES Breakfast. The event is held in September not only because it is National Disaster Preparedness Month but also as a time when we recall the incredible heroism of so many Americans following the attacks of September 11th. In addition to honoring individuals from the local community, the event is a fundraiser for Red Cross Services in Marion & Polk counties. The 2007 event raised over $56,000 to support disaster relief efforts, health and safety services and youth education programs. More Info.     |
