Upper Perk Hometown Hero Banner Program
In 2017, the Chamber and PerkUp established the Hometown Hero Banner Program, a community-building initiative, collaborating with local veteran organizations, businesses and East Greenville, Pennsburg, Red Hill Boroughs and Upper Hanover Township. If you would like to recognize a family member, neighbor or friend that has served or have interest in providing sponsorship, please download the program guidelines, banner application and sponsorship form below.  

Applications are now available for the 2025 Program. 
 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:
