Who will you honor?
Heroes walk among us every day. Some serve in uniform, some teach in classrooms, some quietly change lives through everyday acts of kindness.
At its heart, a hero is someone admired for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble values such as Service Above Self. Each person honored in the Flags for Heroes display has made a difference in someone’s life.
Sponsoring a flag is a way to recognize that impact and say thank you.
Every hero has a story

About YOUR SPONSORSHIP
Your sponsorship helps create the field of American flags displayed each summer at Hub RTP, honoring the people who strengthen our community.
The display will be installed in May and remain until Saturday, June 13, 2026. During that time, each flag will carry the name of someone being honored.
Tributes may also be shared in the Flags for Heroes Digital Tribute Gallery, where photos and messages help tell the stories behind the names on the flags.
Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible. Sponsorships support the Rotary Club of Durham’s community work, including scholarships, veteran support initiatives, and local service projects.
All donations to Flags for Heroes are processed securely through Click & Pledge, which accepts major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers.
