THE BUFFALO SUPERHERO RACE
THE LARGEST, AND OLDEST 5K RACE IN WNY DEDICATED TO RAISING AWARENESS AND PROCEEDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMMING TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO LIVE AND COPE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES!
MOST KIDS NEED A HERO, OURS NEED A SUPERHERO!
Come dressed as your best super hero, whether it's a popular character, or one you create on your own, to support kids who live with mental health challenges. Many people in our community are unsung heroes. 1 in 5 people live with a diagnosable mental health challenge. We aim to break the stigma surrounding mental health, encourage conversations and celebrate people who are doing an amazing job overcoming life's obstacles. We encourage participants to register as either individuals or with teams, and medals and prizes are to be awarded for best times in the race.
****All proceeds raised including donations, pledges, sponsorships, registration fees and more support the mentoring and advocacy programs equally for both Compeer of Greater Buffalo AND the Mental Health Association of Erie County. Help us reach our goal of raising $100,000 to help kids and youth in our community who MOST need a superhero in their lives! Both organizations are grateful for your involvement and support!!
