Local Heroes™

Bank of America is looking for a few good heroes. Heroes who champion causes vital to their communities. Heroes who inspire others to get involved. Heroes who have special and significant impact on individuals, families, or communities.

Do you know a Local Hero? Are you a Local Hero?

For the 5 Local Heroes selected within the 45 markets, we will:

• Direct a $5,000 contribution (or local market currency equivalent) to an eligible nonprofit/charitable organization of the hero's choice
• Recognize Bank of America Local Heroes at a public awards ceremony in their local community

If you know someone who exemplifies the highest standards in community service, we encourage you to nominate that person as a Local Hero. Self-nomination also is encouraged.

Nominate yourself or another Local Hero

Applications for our Neighborhood Excellence Local Heroes awards are accepted beginning January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 (8 p.m. Eastern Time).

While there are no specific eligibility requirements to nominate a Local Hero, there are a number of qualities you should consider before nominating someone.¹

Successful nominations demonstrate how a nominee:

• Made a special and significant impact on individuals, families, or the community at large
• Inspired others to volunteer for community service
• Has been a catalyst for new visions, understanding, and change in a community
