At PuroClean, we recognize that coming together as a community makes everyone closer. Small acts of kindness can go a long way, especially in our ever-demanding world. This year, inspired by National Superhero Day, we would like to spotlight some of the nominated heroes for our Superhero campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These individuals have selflessly used their gifts to uplift, motivate, and make their corner of the world better. As part of our nationwide campaign, we highlight their contributions and express our profound gratitude for their generosity. Through their work, we acknowledge their bravery and hope their stories inspire others to give back and improve their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all franchise owners and home office team members who participated in the selection process! The following are some of the heroes who were selected in their local markets across the PuroClean network:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honoring Heroes Across the Nation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the Executive Director of The Caring Place<\/a>, Corinne Freeman<\/strong> doesn\u2019t cut corners when helping those who are less privileged. Her organization has helped homeless people get back on their feet and achieve success. With over 70 volunteers and 174 \u201cGetting Ahead\u201d graduates, the organization has served over 1500 households this month alone. Charles Atkins<\/a>, a PuroClean franchise owner in Cleveland and Nashville, TN, nominated her.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Genuinely dedicated to improving the well-being of her family and community, Michelle Martin<\/strong> is a middle school principal for children with disabilities, whom PuroClean franchise owner Sadiq Isu<\/a> of Hilliard, Reynoldsburg, Westerville, OH, and Eugene, OR, nominated.

Nothing says hero more than someone willing to teach others how to defend themselves, such as Robert Lee<\/strong>. The retired Coast Guard and current gym owner of Cross Collar Jiu Jitsu<\/a> was nominated by Izzy el Kehal<\/a> of PuroClean in Houston, TX. In addition to teaching others self-defense, Robert is highly involved in local community efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our educators are perhaps some of the most unrecognized heroes among us, which is why it\u2019s important to spotlight individuals like Kathy Li<\/strong>, owner of The Goddard School of Sugar Land<\/a>. Nilo Quiroz<\/a>, owner of PuroClean in Southwest Houston, Sugar Land, and Province, TX, nominated the outstanding educator for organizing community educational events, such as hurricane safety speeches. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s also served overseas as part of the 110 Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

A philanthropist, volunteer, and advocate for marginalized communities, Vice President of the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce<\/a> Jess Davis<\/strong> is one hero who should not be overlooked. Jess works tirelessly daily to foster unity and support local businesses and organizations. The PuroClean team in Kingston, NY<\/a>, nominated this exceptional woman for going above and beyond her traditional leadership duties.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
