THE CINCINNATI REDS AND altafiber ARE LOOKING FOR HOMETOWN HEROES
"altafiber has a longstanding commitment to supporting veterans, and we are passionate about highlighting their service to our country. We are very proud to partner with the Cincinnati Reds again this year and recognize these men and women through the Hometown Hero program."
What is a Hometown Hero?
A Hometown Hero is a member (past or present) of the Armed Forces who is recognized for his or her service to our country at Great American Ball Park. Recognitions occur at the end of the second inning during every Reds home game. Each Hometown Hero also receives an official Hometown Hero hat and a Reds Hometown Hero challenge coin.
How are Hometown Heroes chosen?
Heroes are selected based on nominations received and availability. If selected, Heroes will be contacted by the Cincinnati Reds in advance of the date of their recognition.
How do I nominate a Hometown Hero?
