About Heroes for Humanity
For over 20 years, Heroes for Humanity has been awakening the hero within.
Founded by Laurel Barrett—a visionary in film, television, live events, and an inspirational author and speaker—Heroes for Humanity was born from a passion to bring uplifting stories to the world and to help people discover their own greatness.
In its early years, Heroes for Humanity was championed by Charles Glover, Emeritus CEO, whose leadership helped shape its legacy.
Today, the movement is propelled forward by a remarkable team of innovators, including visionary technologist Bob Pellerin and Trent Di Giulio, a creative force in film and television production. Together, they are building a platform that honors heroes and inspires millions.
