Everyday Heroes: Honoring the Heart of Our Communities.
Across the globe, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things — quietly stepping up to support others, often without recognition or reward. At Defeat the Streets, we believe this represents the spirit of philanthropy in a powerful way, and we love to put a spotlight on those selfless acts so they can be seen, celebrated, and shared.
Everyday Heroes is our heartfelt tribute to individuals who are making a meaningful difference in their communities - whether through direct service, mentorship, advocacy, or simple acts of kindness that spark powerful ripple effects.
Throughout the year we will spotlight these everyday philanthropists - uplifting their stories and honoring their impact
As our movement grows, so will our "League of Everyday Heroes" - reminding us all that it doesn't take a major amount of time, or a title or platform, and certainly it doesn't take millions of dollars to change a life. Just heart, action and a belief in something better.
