About us

Our goal is to honor the memory of a courageous little boy who lost his battle to brain cancer in August, 2011 at the age of six. John truly was a superhero and all proceeds from our event go to the John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation and will benefit local families with children battling cancer.

Helping Others on the Journey

February 6, 2017

Nancy, Ron and John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation:

We have walked this journey a long time.  There have been numerous scares, numerous moments when we fell down, and unfortunately still an uncertain future.  Words  cannot express the appreciation and love our family feels toward your entire family and your ongoing commitment to support our family.

Like the feelings of so many, John won my heart from the minute I met him.  He quickly entrenched himself deep into my heart and his memory is a source of love.  Thank you for sharing your journey with our family and for remaining committed to the cause which takes so much, but also can restore many.

Thank you for all your hard work to make the Foundation a success and for giving back to so many!!

All our love,

Nicole R
