Help Texas Star Bank and 97.5 KLAK find local “Everyday Heroes”

It doesn’t take a Superhero with special powers to do good deeds or be heroic. That’s why 97.5 KLAK has teamed up with Texas Star Bank in Sherman, McKinney, Anna, Celina, Durant, Tioga, Tom Bean and Van Alstyne to create our “Everyday Heroes” program. We need your help to find ordinary women, men and even kids who have done something extraordinary in our local communities.

If you know someone who deserves special recognition for their positive actions or activities, please nominate them using the form below.

Then tune in to 97.5 KLAK every weekday at 10:20 am and 5:50 pm to hear about the Texas Star Bank “Everyday Hero” for this month!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Once a month, during the Promotional Period, our judging panel will compile and vet all the nominations that have been received up to that day. They will verify and discuss the nominees and decide who will be the Everyday Hero for that month. The Hero who is chosen will be contacted and invited to come to the Studio to be interviewed on-air (yes, they may decline the opportunity). They will also be given a gift, as a token of gratitude for their contribution to the community.

Everything starts with a nomination! Who will you nominate to be the Everyday Hero?
