hhgregg and Maytag are using the promotion as a vehicle to drive awareness and show appreciation for community heroes across the country. These heroes put others first and make our world, country and communities better and safer places to live. Every day in May, hhgregg and Maytag will salute a hero by sharing their story online, and thanking them for their service with a gift of new appliances to help make their lives easier and their homes happier.
   
"Honoring everyday heroes in our communities is something we can all do to appreciate these special people who dedicate so much of themselves and their time to help others," said Julie Lyle, chief marketing officer for hhgregg. "Our corporate partnership with Maytag allows us to recognize these unsung heroes, inspire others with their stories, and thank them with gifts of appliances that improve their homes and lives."
