What is a
7 BREW HERO?
A 7 Brew Hero is someone who goes out of their way to make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. They are the people who make us smile, who help us when we need it most, and who make our community a special place.
Every month, our 7 Brew communities will be nominating a winner to receive $500 and a year of free coffee! We want to honor these everyday heroes each month and celebrate one Hero of the Year with a $10,000 grand prize.
To nominate a 7 Brew Hero, simply fill out the form on our website. We will be accepting nominations until the end of the year.
