Stevens-Henager College began raising money for the American Red Cross in early May. Hero Appreciation Day will honor those who have already donated, as well as fuel the momentum to reach the school's goal of raising $1000 by August.

"There are so many special people in the community doing little things to make a difference. At Hero Appreciation Day we will recognize these individuals. From members of the local police and fire departments, to our servicemen and servicewomen, to even our own staff and students, we wanted to take time to say 'thank you,'" said Danielle Horras, associate director at Stevens-Henager College, Boise.
