Hometown Heroes Banner Program

• The City of Willowick Banner Program is a tribute to recognize and honor our residents and their immediate family members who are currently serving or who have served our country in the armed forces:  Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and National Guard.
• Each banner will be individualized for a specific Willowick service person and will include their name, branch of service, photo, and name(s) of sponsor(s).  The banner measures 30” x 60” and is double-sided.  They will be displayed on Lakeshore Blvd. and E. 305 St. from Memorial Day in May through Veterans Day in November.  Banners can be rehung up to two additional times depending on their condition for a $25 rehang fee. 
• The Banner Program is funded through sponsorship(s), and applications are received on a first come, first served basis. 
• Registration begins January 6, 2025 – Deadline is April 1st, 2025.
• The cost of a new banner is $130.
