Field of Heroes

The Field of Heroes is an opportunity for our community members to honor their personal heroes - whoever they are... a family member; a friend; a veteran; a member of the armed services; a favorite teacher; a police officer; a firefighter or any other person who has made in impact on their lives.

The Field of Heroes is held annually over the Memorial Day weekend at the Westerville, OH Sports Complex.  The event is proudly presented by the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club.
