Tell us about your hero for a chance for them to win a $100 gift card.

Heroes serve others, are brave, determined, selfless, courageous, and inspirational. How we define a hero is different for everyone. Each month, Nave Law invites the community to submit people who are CNY heroes. Once a month we will pick a winner, and that hero will receive a $100 gift card. Each December, we will share each of the winner’s stories on social media, and whoever gets the most shares will win $1,000.

Make sure your hero would want to win as if they win we will contact them to congratulate them.

This Month’s Hero

Meet Our January Nave Hero: Chuck Gorman

We’re kicking off 2026 by celebrating someone whose quiet consistency and humble service have made a big impact behind the scenes. Meet Chuck Gorman, our January Nave Hero.

Every single month, Chuck picks up 60 boxes of Amazon donations on behalf of Erin’s Angels of CNY — donations filled with essential food and hygiene items that help stock shelves, fill backpacks, and make sure local kids head to school with full bellies and confidence.

But his impact doesn’t stop at deliveries.

Chuck also helps organize supplies, open and sort donations, stock the shelves, and even pitch in around the office when things need fixing. He’s the kind of person who shows up without being asked — not for credit, but because it’s the right thing to do.

His nominator, Sheila, said it best:

“Chuck doesn’t just talk about making a difference — he lives it. Whether it’s picking up the boxes, organizing them, or helping with whatever we need, he always shows up with compassion. He brings dignity and hope to those who need it most.”

Chuck’s brand of heroism is the kind that often goes unnoticed — and that’s exactly why it matters.

He doesn’t seek the spotlight.
He shines it on others.

Chuck, thank you.
Thank you for your reliability.
Thank you for your kindness.
And thank you for showing us what love in action looks like.

Congratulations, Chuck, and thank you for everything you do.
