U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy is announcing the launch of the NY-23 America 250 Community Heroes Award, a district-wide initiative recognizing individuals across Western New York and the Southern Tier whose service, sacrifice, leadership, and dedication reflect the enduring values that have shaped our nation for 250 years.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Langworthy is calling on residents throughout New York’s 23rd Congressional District to nominate local heroes who have made a meaningful impact in their communities.

“Our nation’s story is written by ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things,” Langworthy said. “For 250 years, generations of Americans have stepped forward to serve their neighbors, their communities, and their country. The America 250 Community Heroes Award is a way to recognize what makes America great by honoring the people who continue that tradition every single day.”

The initiative will highlight the stories of residents who embody the values that have defined the American spirit: service, sacrifice, patriotism, hard work, and a commitment to something greater than themselves. The award will recognize outstanding citizens throughout the 23rd Congressional District, including veterans, first responders, volunteers, educators, healthcare workers, community leaders, coaches, and everyday neighbors who have gone above and beyond to make their communities stronger.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the open nomination process and share the stories of individuals whose actions represent the best of America and the best of Western New York and the Southern Tier. Winners of the award will be recognized at a series of events across the district. Nomination information and additional details on the NY-23 America 250 Community Heroes Award are available on Congressman Langworthy’s website: https://langworthy.house.gov/america-250-community-heroes-award
