Fountain City Forward Announces 2026 Hometown Heroes Banner Program

Press Release: Fountain City Forward

​Fountain City, Indiana — Fountain City Forward is now accepting applications for the 2026 Hometown Heroes Banner Program, an annual initiative honoring local veterans and first responders who have served our country and community.

The program recognizes individuals who have served or are currently serving in any branch of the United States military, as well as those who have served in law enforcement, fire service, or emergency medical services. Honorees may be living or deceased.

Commemorative banners will be displayed throughout Fountain City from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. Each banner includes a QR code directing viewers to a dedicated profile page on the Fountain City Forward website, highlighting the individual’s service and legacy.

Sponsorship for a 2026 banner is $100. Space is limited to 32 banners, and applications will be approved in the order they are fully completed and submitted. Fountain City Forward hopes to honor new individuals each year, and priority for 2026 will be given to those who have not previously been recognized through the program.
The deadline to apply is March 31, 2026.

Sponsors must submit a completed application, sponsorship payment, high-resolution photo, and a 150–300 word biography (or detailed biographical information).
