What is the “How to Be a Hero” Coloring Contest?
Our firm and football star Cam Heyward are excited to bring the “How to Be a Hero” coloring contest to elementary schools in Western and Central PA!
We ask students in grades K – 5 to draw how they can be a hero. It’s as simple as that. Kids are able to draw something heartfelt, something silly, something serious, something fun.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes – maybe they shared with their sibling or helped a grandparent. Maybe they dreamed of helping animals. Maybe they have an idea of how kids can be kind to each other. There was no idea too big or too small.
How to Enter
Elementary school students can enter the contest by drawing "How to Be a Hero" on a piece of plain, white 11 x 8.5 paper, landscape orientation. On the back of the drawing, please be sure to include:
- The student's name
- Age
- School name and address
- Teacher or Principal's Name
- The easiest way to contact either the Teacher or Principal if their student is a winner
