Register today and join us on the Hello Superheroes team at https://bit.ly/2020_CASA_Superhero_Run

By supporting CASA Child Advocates of Montgomery County, runners, walkers, and even couch potatoes will join the fight against child abuse in our community and make a difference in the lives of children whose future is uncertain.

Choose your distance or run/walk the whole series. You decide your own course – run around your neighborhood, walk laps around your pool, or take to the trails! It’s all up to you! If you’re planning to participate in another distance event, this virtual series is an excellent way to train.

This year, you can compete from the comfort of your couch and STILL be a hero! Introducing the Hero Zero-K! You’ll still receive a t-shirt (or cape for kids 10 and under) and a medal.

The deadline to register for any event to GUARANTEE a shirt and medal is Friday, August 21, 2020. Kids 10 and under will receive a Superhero cape instead of a shirt. After that date, shirts, capes, and medals will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

CASA Child Advocates is Montgomery County’s only organization appointed by the court to advocate for abused and neglected children. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) speak up for the best interest of children who have been removed from their parents and are under the Court’s jurisdiction. CASA’s goal is to provide a court-appointed volunteer to serve as Guardian ad Litem for every child in the foster care system, and to break the cycle of abuse, one child at a time. For the past 28 years, CASA has been training volunteers, raising awareness in the community, and working to stop the cycle of child abuse in Montgomery County.
