Nominees must have performed a heroic act between Oct. 6, 2007, and Oct. 6, 2008.

“We want to recognize those ordinary people who have shown extraordinary courage in helping others,” said Kay Ashenfelter, the chapter’s director of development.

Nomination forms are at the Red Cross office, 2530 Lombard Ave., Everett, or online at snohomishcounty.redcross.org.
