Hero of the Month
Hero of the Month: This is our fastest growing program. The honorees of this program are children between the ages of 3 and 18 who do not have a life threatening illness, but have faced and overcome some tragic circumstances with tremendous courage. Hospitals and other child care facilities throughout the country nominate one child to become their Hero of the Month. Each one of those nominees will be recognized as the facility's Hero of the Month and will be presented with a certificate, T-shirt, a Guardian Angel coin and a gift card valued up to $500. Pediatric facilities nationwide tout this program for its ability to positively impact the child's life, and the caregivers lives as well. We currently have numerous facilities waiting for the Hero of the Month program all across America.
