Hero Squad member overview, characteristics, and responsibilities

Overview

Who can resist a man who knows the difference between a wedge and a platform pump? From hunky husbands to foxy firefighters, the Hero Squad is one of the highlights of a WW&S event. These fit and friendly guys may look like models, but they are men from the community who donate their time to support the cause and are willing to brave a party full of women. Presenting the latest shoe styles on silver trays, a Hero Squad member will share fun facts on the art of wine and shoe pairing, promote auction lots, hand out the ever-popular swag bags and take on other entertaining tasks. How many men have you met can match Manolos with Merlot? With a little training, our UHCCF Hero Squad can.

They will receive a free crash course on ladies’ shoes and fine wine (great information for impressing women). A great way to volunteer for a fantastic favorite charity. Most of them admit the events are simply a really good time and a great way to meet people.

If you are interested in volunteering or know someone who would be a perfect Hero Squad member in the cities that UHCCF is holding these fantastic events, please contact us.
