The Kitsap County Red Cross hosted its seventh annual Heroes’ Breakfast on Thursday, providing recognition of local heroes in 10 different categories while offering a tribute to the Red Cross itself.

Nearly 350 people attended the event, which raised about $30,000.

J.B. Hall, a member of the West Sound Advisory Board, noted that while the Red Cross operates nationwide, many communities don’t have their own chapter. Kitsap County, however, is fortunate in this respect.
