Be the Hero is an anthem which declares that all youth have the capacity to be a hero in their own rite. Be the Hero is a declaration of the collective power of this generation to take a stand as everyday heroes and to drive positive change in our community\, while transforming health and wellness trends and overcoming pop culture messages that suggest that alcohol\, tobacco and other drugs are not harmful.
