How do we efficiently raise money for philanthropy?
Raising Money for Other Charities Through Running Events.
2024 Superhero Run will be April 13

Be a Sponsor or Volunteer
The Superhero (Fund) Run was born out of a need and desire by GFWC Illinois Morris Woman's Club to raise money for organizations that we partner with in our community at large. The event started as a certified 5K Run with a 1 mile walk, but in 2017, a certified half marathon was added. We are back to a 5K Run BUT added a kids 1K. Come join your favorite superheroes as they do the hustle through our community. All participants receive a prize and medals given for the top positions. |
