Shed your mild-mannered alter ego to make a meaningful impact, improving mental health for kids in Western New York. Your superpowers will lead you through a 5k race or 1.8 mile walk, and a super post-race party fit for a hero! While you're having a blast, you'll be raising critically needed funds to help children get the support they need to overcome the mental health challenges they face each day.
One in five children live with a mental health diagnosis. But with your superpowers we will break the stigma surrounding mental health, encourage compassionate conversations, and celebrate those who have overcome giant obstacles.
Register today as an individual, or sign up your family, company, civic group, or team of friends. Together you can fundraise to the finish line with every dollar going to fund mentoring and advocacy programs for children with mental health challenges.
And your superpowers will not go unnoticed! Medals for race winners, prizes for best costumers, and super special superhero treatment for Five-Star Superheroes raising $500 or more.

BECOME A FUNDRAISER
You are the superhero our kids need!
We at Superhero Central have one more task for you: invite family and friends to join in your quest to improve the lives of kids living with mental health challenges. Share your fundraising page on social media, encourage colleagues to dress up like their favorite hero for a day, or host a super raffle for lunch with the boss... every dollar raised will help bring kids the friendship and advocacy that is proven to make their lives better.
Become a Five-Star Superhero by raising $500 or more and you'll receive super special superhero treatment at the Superhero Walk & Run on June 7. Stay tuned, our super friends and sponsors are helping us to line up some great prizes just for you!
