This issue of NEWisco Weekend focuses on heroes.
They come in all shapes, sizes, modes, and methods. You can be your own hero; you can look up to someone who helps in disasters, one who gives blood in honor of a cancer patient. We have heroes who sing. Heroes who work for safety in their own neighborhoods…in other words, the people who do it every day to make things better in this issue of NEWisco Weekend.
Our Cover Story this week is focused on the Red Cross 2025 Northeast Wisconsin Heroes.
Blood Services Hero: Jeff Rabas, Algoma (Kewaunee County)
Disaster Relief Hero: Dan Kane, Green Bay (Brown County)
Good Samaritan Hero: Dominique McQueen, Wausau (Marathon County)
Emergency Response Heroes: Fond du Lac Fire Rescue, Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac County)
Youth & Young Adult Heroes: Oshkosh North Communities Program, Oshkosh (Winnebago County)
