Local heroes will be honored on Tuesday for their involvement in the July 16 Farmers Market accident in which an 86-year-old man drove his car through a crowded Arizona Avenue, killing 10 and injuring close to 80 people.

The Chamber of Commerce will hold a ceremony from 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., during its monthly luncheon. The chamber and the board of the Santa Monica Farmers Market Victims Assistance Fund will be honoring individuals and corporations who made a difference in the tragedy. The Santa Monica community came together to aid those in need, and more than $130,000 has been raised for victims and their families. Tickets are $25 pre-paid and $30 with reservation (pay at the door). Call (310) 393-9825, ext. 10.
