Hero of the Week Program

About our Hero of the Week Program
Every day in communities across the greater Des Moines area there are people going above and beyond the call of duty, many times at great physical, mental, and emotional cost to themselves, to provide for others in our communities. They do this work, not for the recognition, but for the satisfaction and joy of helping others.
At Smiling Dog Entertainment we call these people Heroes!
We believe it's time to recognize some of these Heroes for their great work and so we are launching our inaugural Heroes of the Week program.
For 12 weeks beginning in early July we will be recognizing two individuals, for a total of 24 Heroes of the Week, for their outstanding contributions to the community.
Hero of the Week nominations will be accepted, reviewed, and awarded based on the primary community in which the nominee's work is being done.
Nominate a Hero of the Week
Do you know someone who is constantly going above and beyond the call of duty to help others in the community?
Do you have a neighbor or a friend that you'd consider a Hero?
Do you know someone who would give someone the shirt of their back if they needed it?
Is your community better off because of the work of your best friend, husband, wife, neighbor, or student?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions we want to hear about what makes that person a Hero! To nominate the Hero in your life click hereand complete and submit our Hero of the Week Nomination Form.
