ROBERT REDFORD TO RECEIVE CNN HEROES LEGACY AWARD; FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE TO ACCEPT ON HIS BEHALF

NEW YORK, NY - (December 4, 2025) - The Peabody and Emmy(R) Award-winning CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, which honors everyday people who are making extraordinary contributions to help improve the lives of others, returns on Saturday, December 6 at 8pm ET/PT and is hosted by CNN Anchors Anderson Cooper and Laura Coates.

Notable guests will join the annual broadcast to introduce special packages honoring the 2025 CNN Heroes including three-time Academy Award(R) winner Meryl Streep, seven-time Grammy(R), Academy(R), and Emmy Award(R) winner Jon Batiste, Primetime Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) nominee Kathryn Hahn, NAACP Image Award(R) winner Regina Hall, Primetime Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) nominee Parker Posey, Primetime Emmy(R) nominee and star of NBC's Brilliant Minds Zachary Quinto, Daytime Emmy(R) winner Kelly Ripa and Primetime Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) nominee Adam Scott.

This year, the third annual CNN Heroes Legacy Award will continue the new tradition of honoring not-so-everyday people dedicated to a lifetime of service by recognizing Robert Redford with a special tribute and appearance by former Vice President Al Gore accepting the award on behalf of the Redford family. Redford's unwavering advocacy for the planet through activism, storytelling, and decades of public engagement embodies the profound, lasting impact the Legacy Award seeks to honor.

CNN Heroes will also honor one extraordinary young person making a difference in his community. The 2025 CNN Heroes Young Wonder is Cash Daniels, a Chattanooga native, who grew up spending a lot of time around the Tennessee River. When he learned how polluted the river was, he decided to do something about it. Now 16, Cash, 'The Conservation Kid,' has spent more than half his life working to clean the waterway and inspire others to protect nature around them.

For almost two decades, CNN Heroes has championed everyday people changing the world, by sharing their extraordinary stories across CNN's global platforms. This year-round initiative culminates in CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute each December, which has become an annual tradition of CNN's special event programming.

CNN Heroes is honored to have the commitment of brand partners including Humana, now in its fifteenth year of support, and SERVPRO.

CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute will broadcast on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español on Saturday, December 6. It will stream live for pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps. The show will be available on demand beginning Sunday, December 7 to subscribers of CNN's streaming offering and pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps, and Cable Operator Platforms.
