Vote for 9's Viewers' Choice Hero of the Year

Every Monday, Bay News 9 brings you 9's Everyday Hero - someone from the Tampa Bay community who has gone above and beyond to help others. Those heroes are honored every year with the Salute to Everyday Heroes luncheon in partnership with Outback Steakhouse and A La Carte Pavilion. A select number of heroes are honored with special awards, among them, the viewers' choice hero.

Now, it's your chance to tell us which Everyday Hero you think is deserving of the award.
