Upper Perk Hometown Hero Banner Program
The Chamber/PerkUp is excited to announce the Hometown Hero Banner Program, a community-building initiative, partnering with local veteran organizations, businesses and boroughs. The 2021 Banner Program is closed. Applications are now available for the 2022 Program for those that would like to recognize a family member, neighbor or friend that has served for our country or who are interested in providing sponsorship for the program. Download the program guidelines, banner application and sponsorship form below. 
 We are offering the opportunity to install your Hometown Hero Banner for an additional year after it has been retired (two installation rotations) from the program. Download the reinstallation application below:
