Dr. Cuthrell Jr. Jr. Scholarship
Our goal for this ECU scholarship is to support future educators to find the Dr. Jr. Jr. in themselves and their students. Help us do this by donating today!
Mini Grants
We empower children to explore their interests and spread kindness through community grants to Rocking Horse Ranch, tutoring services, art programming, and more.
Service Projects
We believe that the world needs people who care more for the people in front of them. We serve others as a way to honor Hannah and show thanks to the heroes in our community.
Hannah's Story
Hannah Cuthrell was a 10 year old little girl that tried a bit of everything, all the while spreading kindness through her smiles and her friendships. Born and raised in eastern NC, Hannah died in a car accident on her way to school in 2017.
In her short 10 years, Hannah had many interests and was able to explore a great deal of them. She was active in sports, always working on her next craft, and worked hard in school. Through the beauty of Hannah’s life, Hannah’s Heroes of NC recognizes and values the importance of exploring interests, nurturing growth, and instilling confidence in children of all ages.
Her friends started the hashtag #BeaHannah immediately after they lost her. Hannah's Heroes of NC decided to keep it going. She started that last school year labeling all her notebooks with a Hannah heart- you will often see her signature on our Hannah gear- her final mark here with us. Purple was her favorite color and her favorite shirt said, “Be Kind Be Proud Be You” . Hannah's heart logo is an outline of her dancing in the rain- her forever reminder for all of us to dance in the rain when given the chance- and smile big when our confidence soars.
