The Unforgettables Foundation Celebrates Local Heroes at the 5th Annual Heart Awards

The Unforgettables Foundation will host its 5th Annual Heart Awards Luncheon on Friday, Feb. 12 at the Fox Event Center in downtown Redlands. The Foundation will honor the exceptional volunteers, service groups and companies that care for and give to children, families and the less fortunate through the Inland Empire. California State Senator Mike Morrell shared that he did not envision how successful the Unforgettable Hearts Awards would be five years ago when he and Unforgettables Founder Tim Evans mapped out the idea over a lunch in mid December 2011. "It is amazing how many big-hearted people there are doing extraordinary things to help children and families each day," he said. This Feb. 12 at 11 a.m. at The Fox Theatre in Redlands, another sixty 'Unforgettable Hearts' from across San Bernardino and Riverside counties will join a previous alumni group of over 200 individuals, foundations and business. The title sponsor is Alaina Matthews of Highland. Recipients from 25 different Inland Empire towns who have been found to resemble the power of people to do good, will be recognized for their giving nature. One of these locals is Margaret Muller of Yucaipa who, through her organization Knots of Love, has created almost 300,000 knitted caps to cover the heads of cancer patients. Many local politicians will be present to congratulate the chosen recipients from across the region, including keynote speaker Mike Morrell, Assemblypersons Marc Steinorth and Cheryl Brown and San Bernardino County Supervisors James Ramos, Josie Gonzales and Janice Rutherford-Lim. Tickets to the event are $75 pre-registration and $85 at the door. Tables of 10 can be purchased and sponsorships are available. Please call (909)335-1600 to reserve your seats.
