Meet the Heroes Reception – American Red Cross Southwest Wisconsin Chapter
The American Red Cross Southwest Wisconsin Chapter Meet the Heroes Reception was held at our building on June 6. The evening recognized and celebrated inspiring community heroes who are dedicated to the American Red Cross and helping others.
It was an inspiring event with eight awards presented to individuals who are making an impact through generosity, dedication and humanitarian service. Maria Lubick, Assistant Vice President, Corporate Communications & Community Engagement at NGL had the privilege of presenting the 2024 Community Impact Hero Award to Sam Cooke, a U.S. Navy Veteran of five years who works for the Madison Fire Department and started a nonprofit called Cooke’s Charitable Cattle Company. Sam’s passion has helped feed many people who rely on the services of Second Harvest Foodbank. Click here to watch a video about Sam and his nonprofit.
