Robert C. Wood Memorial Heroes CELEBRATION

Hero Submission Process

We invite your Rotary Club to participate in the Robert C. Wood Memorial Heroes Celebration on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Danvers Waterfront. Your club can select a hero from your community to be recognized with a Paul Harris Fellow recognition at the event. 

Recognizing your hero at the event is a two-step process:

Step One

Please use this online form to submit information about your hero:

HERO SUBMISSION FORM

We will need the (1) the name of your hero, (2) a short bio and why they are being honored (600 characters max.), and (3) a high-quality photo. We will put that information into a slideshow to be shown during the event. Send bio and photo via email to Peter Majane at peter.majane@gmail.com 

Step Two

In addition to filling out the above online form, you will also need to please fill out the Rotary International Form, which you can download as a PDF document:

PHF TRANSFER REQUEST FORM

This form is required to transfer 1,000 PHF recognition points from your club to the person you are bestowing a PHF recognition.

Please fill out the rest of the form, sign it, and then scan and send it via email no later than October 15, 2026 to guarantee timely arrival of PHF materials.  Late entries may not be available for the event.  Rotary International will send the PHF recognition materials to Anne Lewis anned7930rfc@gmail.com who will bring them to the event.
