Here’s to our Heroes

We’re honoring everyday heroes in our community – the people who show selfless service to others. Heroes like Daniel Martinez, our 2023 winner. Daniel is a Music and Culture touring and teaching artist with the Nebraska Arts Council, and a Teaching Artist for The Lied Center for Performing Arts, and through LPS. He is also well known in the Lincoln community as a Flamenco guitarist and composer, playing all musical styles with the band Jarana. For more than five years, Daniel has taught through music, using it to celebrate diversity and to fight discrimination, promoting inclusion through music and culture.

Nominate someone you think is a hero in the Lincoln community for the 2024 Here’s to the Heroes Award. A hero is someone who gives without expectation and who has made a difference. From teachers, to healthcare workers, to family and friends, to coworkers.

Nominations accepted through September 20, 2024. All nominees will be invited as guests of Roper & Sons at the Hub & Soul Night on Friday, September 27, 2024 and will receive a complimentary dinner and drink.

The winner will be announced that evening and will receive a monetary prize of $1,000.

From our Clients

The staff at Roper and Sons were very helpful in planning the funeral service for my husband. They listened to what we would like to have done and they also made some suggestions that were very helpful. They took time with us to plan the service and did not rush us along.
