More than 150 friends and family members turned out for "A Salute to Everyday Heroes" earlier this month to help honor Central Floridians who perform selfless acts of good work in the community.

On Saturday, the rest of Central Florida will get a chance to see what made these Everyday Heroes stand out.

Everyday Hero honorees were recognized during News 13's annual awards luncheon Thursday, March 23 at Winter Park's Alfond Inn as the nominees were given awards that acknowledged their generosity. 

The award winners, who were recognized for their time, money and other selfless acts, were selected for seven Everyday Heroes categories:

  • Young Hero of the Year 
  • Volunteer Hero of the Year 
  • Public Service Hero of the Year 
  • Education Hero of the Year 
  • Health Advocate Hero of the Year 
  • Hero of the Year 
  • Viewers’ Choice Hero of the Year

News 13’s Salute to Everyday Heroes airs this Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m., April 1 and 2, respectively.
