Hidden Hero Award launched by

Rotary Club of Farragut

The Rotary Club of Farragut has announced the creation of the Hidden Hero Award to recognize unsung heroes in our community who go out of their way to help others.  “The Hidden Hero Award is our way to honor individuals in our community who exemplify the Rotary motto of Service Above Self,” said Scott Bertini, President of the Rotary Club of Farragut.

Anyone may nominate an individual for the Hidden Hero Award. Nominees must live, work or render service in Knox County and demonstrate a strong commitment to service to others. Nominees do not have to be a member of Rotary.  To nominate a person as a Hidden Hero, complete a brief form, explaining why you think that person deserves special recognition. The form can be completed in minutes and is available at bit.ly/RotaryHiddenHero.

The deadline for nominations of the first Hidden Hero Award is September 22, 2024. Rotary will announce the award winner in November.  For more information about the award, contact Tom Woodbery at [email protected].
