Organiser's description

At the Heritage Hero, we recognize the people who make us proud and help us become better citizens. Their warm spirit and positive outlook inspire everyone around them. Participate in the Heritage Hero Run + Stroll + Roll to honor a family member enlisted in the armed forces, a survivor of a serious illness, or perhaps for a loved one whose spirit burns brightly despite their passing. This year, we will also be celebrating our very own direct support professional heroes who work for Heritage Christian Services. Our event lands at the end of Direct Support Professionals Week, a time to honor and celebrate the incredible work DSPs do every day to keep the people we support safe, healthy and engaged in their own lives and in their communities.

By supporting the Heritage Hero, you're supporting people as they live their best lives ones that are full of compassion and dignity. That's why we fundraise every year to grow the Heritage Christian Services Foundation. Your support makes a difference in the lives of children, older adults and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, today and in the future.
