“A Salute to Spectrum Bay News 9's Everyday Heroes” is our way of saying thank you to everyone who donates their time, their talent, their gifts, and their all, giving back to our neighbors in need.

This past year, we featured heroes from across our viewing area, demonstrating why the Tampa Bay area is such a great place to live and to serve.  At Spectrum Bay News 9, we’re proud to honor YOU and share YOUR stories.

Every Monday on Spectrum Bay News 9, we highlight a hero who is making a difference in our local community. A Salute to Everyday Heroes honors all of our 2024 nominees and celebrates seven special heroes in seven distinct categories. These heroes showcase what a true Everyday Hero is... someone who goes above and beyond. They don't do it for the recognition. They do it because it's the right thing to do.

Congratulations to all of our 2024 Everyday Heroes winners and nominees.
