Be the Change…

The 2024 Heroes of Character “Be the Change” Celebration will be held on April 11, 2024, at the Delta Marriott Hotel in Sharonville, Ohio.  Hosted by the Character Council of Greater Cincinnati, in collaboration with Hamilton’s City of Character Coalition, this celebration will recognize individuals of all ages within the Tri-state area whom their peers have nominated as upstanding citizens and people of character who make a difference in this world.  These “Heroes” all have their unique story, whether bouncing back from a setback to accomplish the amazing, doing the right thing no matter the cost or who is watching, or fighting injustice for those unable to fight for themselves.  They set examples of care and compassion.  They are the change within their respective communities.
