A Celebration of Local Heroes
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
“It took a few tries but he finally pried open the car door and pulled the submerged 2-year old out from the mud.”
Ogden, UTAH (Saturday, May 1, 2010) -- The American Red Cross of Northern Utah will honor local heroes on May 11, 2010. Heroes include local individuals who have done something extraordinary, perhaps saved a life or made our community a better place to live. Each year, the Red Cross Chapter recognizes these local heroes for their outstanding contributions at the annual Heroes event.
One of the heroes honored this year is 19-year old Todd Kanno of Box Elder County. He came to the rescue when a car was upside down in a drainage ditch along I-15 near Willard Bay on September 22. A toddler was in grave danger in the back seat. Stephanie Christiansen of the Red Cross said, “It took a few tries but he finally pried open the car door and pulled the submerged 2-year old out to safety. He then cleared her mouth and performed CPR. The little girl is fine now, and just recently celebrated her third birthday.”
The American Red Cross is proud to honor heroes like Todd. There will be nine hero award recipients at the upcoming event in Ogden. Other heroes include John A & Telitha E Lindquist and Tom & Nancy Davidson for their lifetimes of commitment to the American Red Cross.
The event will take place at 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on May 11, 2010 at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center. Don't miss this heart-warming and inspirational event. Ticket information can be found on online at www.redcrossutah.org or call 801-627-0000. Sponsors are welcome, please call for details.
