\u201cIt\u2019s our everyday heroes that really make the difference in our community,\u201d Mayor Lisa Crate said. \u201cPeople looking out for each other and caring for one another is just one of the many things that makes Brick Township so special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goal of the Brick Hero Awards is to recognize acts of kindness and put those who actively do good deeds in the spotlight. This year, recipients will be awarded based in the following categories: Business, Community Stewardship, Military\/Veterans, Non-Profit Organization, Public Safety, Public Service, School Personnel, Seniors, Volunteerism and Youth.<\/p>\n

The Mayor\u2019s Student Advisory Committee (MSAC) is comprised of students from both Brick Township and Brick Memorial High Schools. MSAC was created by former mayor John Ducey as a way to give young people a greater voice in the local community. The mission of MSAC is to \u201cempower the youth of our community to be more civic-minded and the leaders of today,\u201d an announcement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hero Awards is a perfect example of our wonderful community coming together to highlight each other\u2019s remarkable contributions and acts of kindness,\u201d said Crate,<\/p>\n
