Organiser's Description
Be a hero in the eyes of Cunningham kids!
Heroes made such a big impact that the 5k is now an annual event for us!
Join us Saturday, October 14, 2023 for Cunningham Childrenโs Home Be a Hero 5K.
Whether you move like โThe Flashโ or at โ Hulkโ speed, the Be a Hero 5K is open to runners and walkers of all skill levels.ย
Feeling like a Superhero? ย Participants who raise $100 will receive a Cunningham Hero Cape! And, your race registration fee counts towards your goal. Wear your official Cunningham Hero Cape on race day or anytime you are being a hero in your community! This 5K Run/Walk will be tons of fun benefitting a great cause.
How does $100 make a difference at Cunningham?
$100 in our residential programs cover art, music and recreation therapy for our kids$100 in our special education programs will help cover the cost of sensory sets for classrooms.$100 in our community services programs will cover the cost of a โstartup kitโ for youth transitioning into independent living; items include pots, pans, silverware, cleaning supplies, lamps, towels and other household items that will make their first living space feel like home.
All funds raised through the Be a Hero 5K help to meet the critical needs of the 807 youth, individuals and families served by Cunningham. Young people are referred to Cunningham for many reasons, including a history of abuse, neglect, trauma, and mental health issues. Many have experienced rejection and loss. Cunningham offers opportunities for healing and hope across our three areas of services โ residential treatment, special education and community-based services. More information about how our programs help youth and families to heal, learn and grow, can be found at cunninghamhome.org
