Tue, May 13 2008 BEVERLY — About a dozen people and organizations were honored this morning during the American Red Cross sixth annual Heroes Breakfast. Awards recognize those in the North Shore who "have demonstrated a commitment to others that is above and beyond the call of duty." More than 400 people attended, and the event raised just over $32,000, organizer Julie Manninen said. "We did really well this year," she said.
