Flags for Heroes 2021
Heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and vocations. COVID-19 expanded our concept of a hero with the term "essential worker."
Whether it's a cashier, first responder, military personnel, delivery driver, caregiver, veteran, family member, or a friend, we all have someone who inspires us to be a better person; someone who lives the motto "Service above self;" someone who is our HERO.
The Rotary Club of the West Shore invites you to honor that person through our premier fundraising event, Flags for Heroes. By sponsoring a flag in your hero's name, you will join with hundreds of others in making a bold statement that says:
We Honor you, Hero.
We Encourage you, Hero.
We Recognize you, Hero.
We Offer thanks to you, Hero.
Don't miss your chance to be part of this special event!

The powerful and emotional display of sponsored flags will take place from September 4-12, 2021. Once again, the flags will be on display along the Taylor Bypass (1250 Camp Hill Bypass). We extend our heartfelt thanks to Waterday Properties for donating the site for this event.
