Hometown Hero Banners will fly over Sunapee from Memorial Day to Labor Day, honoring a current or former Sunapee resident. Perhaps your hero served in the armed forces, or was the police officer who came to help you in the dark of night, the firefighter or EMT who left their home to answer your 911 call, the DPW driver working in a snow storm to keep the roads safe for you? Honor those who teach and nurture our children or the skilled medical professionals risking their health in a pandemic by helping the ill or injured.
To purchase a Heroes banner ($175.) recognizing their service to our community, CLICK HERE. When the banners come down, they will be given to the Hero or their family. This is a Friends of Sunapee Recreation (a 501(c)3 nonprofit, fund raiser to support improvements and enhancements to recreation programs in Sunapee. |
