Organiser's Description
Be a hero in the eyes of Cunningham kids!
Heroes have made such a big impact at Cunningham that our Be a Hero 5K now occurs annually and we are excited to invite you to this year's event.
Join us on Saturday, September 28, 2024 for the 4th Annual Be a Hero 5K. This year's race will take place on Cunningham's campus and will be miles of fun benefitting a great cause! This year's event includes “The Flash” race for all 5K runners and a “ Hulk” walk for all 5K walkers. So, you can Be a Hero no matter your skill level. Special awards and recognition will be given for both.
The cost to participate is $30 and includes some Cunningham swag. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: If you register by August 28th, you will receive a $5 discount making your registration just $25!
Feeling like a Superhero?
Participants who raise $100 will receive a Cunningham Hero Cape! Wear your official Cunningham Hero Cape on race day or anytime you are being a hero in your community!
How does $100 make a difference at Cunningham?
$100 in our residential programs will help cover costs associated with 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 “startup kit” for young adults 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 proceeds from the Be a Hero 5K will help to meet the critical needs of the 846 youth 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 – 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 cunningham.org
