Heroes Among Us
The Heroes Among Us program is one of the premier community outreach programs in professional sports. Established as an initiative of the Boston Celtics in 1997, Heroes Among Us honors individuals who have made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others.
The Heroes Among Us Award is presented to an individual or individuals who, through their unique commitment and humanitarian spirit, have made exceptional and lasting contributions to our community. At each home game, the Celtics and their fans have saluted the exemplary efforts of these citizens during a special in-game presentation on the legendary parquet floor. In addition, the Boston Celtics and Massachusetts State Lottery will donate four copies of The Boston Celtics Hero Book to a local library in the individual's hometown.
To date, over 380 individuals have received the Heroes Among Us Award. This program is proudly presented by the Mass State Lottery. Last year the Lottery gave back over $920 million in local aid to the 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts, and that local aid paid for public education and safety. Additional support provided by WEEI 850 AM and Comcast SportsNet.
The Boston Celtics would like to thank Weldon Executive Coach for providing complimentary transportation for each Heroes Among Us recipient to and from the game. Weldon Executive coach can be reached at 888.666.7077 or at www.weldoncoach.com
