The ‘Our Town, Our Heroes’ program sponsored by General Motors (GM) is looking for people “who inspire others and drive positive change” in the Cary community.

Now in its second year, the contest held throughout Illinois aims to highlight the accomplishments of those who truly make a difference.

Potential nominees could include teachers, coaches, veterans, parents, friends or anyone else that goes above and beyond to serve others.

“We want to recognize the unsung heroes who inspire others and make a difference in the community,” said Brian Goebel, General Motors communications manager.

GM is currently seeking nominations now through November.  One finalist will be chosen every month based on the most votes received on the Our Town, Our Heroes website.

The winners will receive a one-week car loan on a new GMC, Cadillac, Buick or Chevrolet and $500 in gift cards.

The car will be personally delivered by GM representatives, and friends and supporters are invited to attend a celebration to congratulate the winner.

Individuals who nominate winners also will receive the one-week car loan.

Additional car loans will be given to the second place winner and their nominator as well.
