In every community, there are remarkable individuals whose dedication and selflessness keep the heartbeat of our towns and cities across Massachusetts strong. Wellpoint's Hometown Heroes campaign is a heartfelt tribute to the public service employees who, day in and day out, go above and beyond to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of their communities. From the Commonwealth's dedicated firefighters, police officers and first responders, to the compassionate educators and hard-working transportation teams, these heroes demonstrate unwavering commitment and resilience to serving the greater good.
Join us as we celebrate their invaluable contributions, shining a light on the everyday acts of bravery and kindness that shape our Commonwealth for the better. Nominate an active public service employee who makes a difference in your community by submitting an essay of 200 words or less telling us how they go above and beyond. Enter your nomination by March 27, 2026, and they could score a pair of home game Bruins tickets and be recognized all season long.
