The Rotary Clubs of Murrieta and Old Town Temecula invite nominations of “heroes” who will be honored during the 2026 Murrieta Field of Honor, November 7-14.
The Murrieta Field of Honor celebrates its 18th year in 2026. The Field is presented by the Rotary Club of Murrieta and the Rotary Club of Old Town Temecula in partnership with the City of Murrieta, the event’s Presenting Sponsor. More than 2026, full-sized American flags will fly in Murrieta’s Town Square Park during the weeklong event.
The benchmark that the Rotary Clubs use in selecting heroes who are nominated by the community is: A hero is a person (or group) who in the face of danger or adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage or self-sacrifice for the greater good.
To nominate an individual or an organization, please send an appropriate picture, a short biography, a few sentences on why they should be selected, contact information (address, email and telephone numbers) for both the hero or contact person for the organization and for yourself to MurrietaRotary@gmail.com. Nominations will close September 7, 2026.
For 2026, all individual heroes nominated must be a veteran of United States military service or a first responder who served in a U.S. community and a current resident of Riverside County, California. Any nominated organization must serve the populations noted in the previous sentence in Riverside County, California.
Heroes will be honored with special recognition during the Field of Honor week, along with being featured in the event’s Field of Honor Magazine and in media postings.
Hero selections will be made by a committee of Rotary Club members. All nomination information will become property of the Rotary Club of Murrieta and may be used in promotion of the Field of Honor.
For questions on the Heroes program, contact Linda Dozier at MurrietaRotary@gmail.com.
