Kenny Moore of Lewiston was honored as a Hero Among Us during the Dec. 8 Boston Celtics home game against the New York Knicks.
Moore is the Youth Bowling League president at Just-In-Time Recreation in Lewiston, where he teaches children how to bowl. On the evening of Oct. 25, Moore was leading practice with 15 youth bowlers when he heard a loud noise. He looked around the bowling alley and saw the gunman. He told his group to run toward the exits; half of his group followed his orders, while half froze in fear. Moore ran back inside to get the rest of his students outside to safety, according to a news release from Nathalie Sczublewski of Regan Communications Group .
Since its establishment in 1997 by the Boston Celtics, the Heroes Among Us program has recognized outstanding individuals who have made exceptional and lasting contributions to their communities. The award, presented at every Celtics home game, pays tribute to the heroic achievements of these outstanding citizens.
