The UD Express and The Boardwalk Hotel and Casino are asking readers to nominate their “Community Heroes of 2021”.
A community hero is someone who has made a significant contribution towards uplifting and bettering their community, whether it is by helping children, a family in need, the elderly, or animals.
Do you know someone who is filled with kindness and compassion who has gone the extra mile in whatever manner, in what has been an extremely challenging year for most?
We have all been staying home, hunkering down against the cold and trying to stay healthy and motivated as midyear fatigue creeps in.
Now, the UD Express in collaboration with Sun International’s premier Gqeberha hotel, The Boardwalk, is giving you a chance to brighten up one incredible person’s day by nominating them as our Community Hero. And if they win, so do you!
For the month of September we will be running the Community Heroes campaign.
We will choose a Community Hero once a month and they will win an awesome prize, sponsored by The Boardwalk Hotel and Casino.
The aim of the competition is to give back to our local heroes and to say thank you for their selfless work
Nominate your hero
All you have to do is share, in 300 words or less, the special abilities and qualities that make your Community Hero a role model for your community.
Describe what it is they do to improve people’s lives and why they deserve to win.
The UD Express will publish the winning letters in the newspaper.
The person who nominated the month’s winning Community Hero will also win the same prize.
