As Part Of New Hampshire Children’s Trust Fund’s 2nd Annual Unsung Hero Award Ceremony

On February 19, in honor of Parent Recognition Month, the New Hampshire Children’s Trust Fund honored 28 parents at the 2nd Annual Unsung Hero Award Ceremony. The event was held at the State House for families, friends, and community members. Governor Lynch was in attendance to honor the Unsung Hero Award recipients.  The event is to honor parents from around the State who have been role models to those around them and have gone the extra mile to help their family, friends and communities. 
The event honored a diverse group including single parents, dual parents, grandparents, foster and adoptive parents. Recipients represented all ten counties throughout the state. Parents ranged from those who have children with severe emotional and/or physical handicaps to those who are active advocates for their children and other children in the community.

Heather Brown, of Pittsfield, was one of the 28 parents honored as an unsung hero.  Heather is a devoted mother of two, always willing to lend a helping hand. Her compassion towards others, her desire to help those in need, and her caring nature is why she is an unsung hero.
