Nominate Your Hero for a Chance to Win

Maybe you know someone like Land O’ Lakes High School’s Coach Kris Keppel, who despite fighting a battle with cancer, has faithfully been there to support his cross country team.

Perhaps it’s someone like Peggy Smith of Napa, Calif. Smith, a hospice nurse, has been a foster parent to about 50 children over the last 18 years, adopting 3 of them. She also started Expressions of Hope which provides a care package of essentials to help ease the transition as children enter the foster care system.

Tell us about the coach, mentor or teacher who made a difference in your life. Your mentor will be entered for a chance to win a prize package from Patch. All Everyday Hero submissions will be shared on Patch.

Each question has a 300-character limit. If you have any questions or want to submit a more detailed response, email Patch at mentorship@patch.com. We can’t wait to read your responses, and don’t forget to include a photo!

Nominations will be accepted through Aug. 18, 2014. If your mentor wins, he or she could receive a prize package to attend a showing of “When the Game Stands Tall” worth up to $450.
