The American Red Cross of the Mahoning Valley is seeking nominations for its 2014 Acts of Courage Awards.

Nominees who have saved a life must live or be employed in Mahoning, Trumbull or Columbiana counties. The heroic event may have happened anywhere, but must have occurred between Jan. 1, 2013, and April 1, 2014.

It could be a person who entered a burning house to rescue a trapped family, a passer-by who pulled a drowning child to safety, or a neighbor who administered CPR to a total stranger.

To nominate a local hero who helped save a life, call 330-392-2551.

The deadline for nominations is April 10. Award recipients will be honored during a special reception and dinner hosted by the Red Cross.
