CNN Heroes

CNN Heroes is an annual awards program by CNN that recognizes and honors everyday individuals making significant contributions to their communities and the world through selfless acts of service. Each year, nominations are collected from around the globe, with ten finalists selected based on their impactful work. The public votes for their favorite hero, and the winner receives a cash prize to further their cause, along with media attention. This initiative aims to inspire others by showcasing the positive difference one person can make, encouraging civic engagement and philanthropy.
