From Anheuser-Busch:
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 17, 2015 -- Busch, the beer with a time-honored tradition of rewarding hard-working men and women who "earn it," announced today six new men and women as its new class of 2015 Busch Heroes.
First introduced in 2014, the Busch Heroes program was developed to recognize people who truly go above and beyond, not only in their day job, but also by making a difference in their community when the workday is complete. Each of the eight individuals recognized in the inaugural class of Busch Heroes had their unique stories vaulted to national prominence and were featured in Busch advertising nationwide throughout 2014, including digital mini-documentaries, print advertisements, billboards and more.
"We heard incredible accounts from last year's Busch Heroes about how their lives changed as a result of being recognized," said Edison Yu, Vice President, Value Brands & Premium Lights, Anheuser-Busch. "Over the past year, each member of the 2014 class has lived up to the moniker of Busch Hero and earned the right to be celebrated again in 2015 along with our six new honorees."
Identified and nominated by friends, families, neighbors and others who recognized their overall dedication to their job as well as to their passion for making a difference in their hometown, Busch is proud to present its 2015 class of Heroes:
- Andrew Dunavant: Arborist from Richmond, Va.

Each member of the new class of Busch Heroes will appear on print advertisements, retail displays and region-specific billboards.Dallas Puskar, Dewey Hemilright, and Morgan Cook will have their inspirational stories visualized via mini-documentaries highlighting how they "earn it" every day. The videos can be viewed on the Busch Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The six new Heroes will be joined by all eight 2014 Busch Heroes and showcased in regional Busch advertising throughout 2015.
