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.

John’s Legacy Touches Many

February 6, 2017

Dear Nancy & Ron,
We cannot begin to thank you enough for the extreme generosity of the John Shapiro’s Superheroes Foundation.
Our journey began on September 23, 2015, when our 7 year old daughter, Maddie was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. Over the course of the past 14 months we have been in awe of the strength of our little girl. We could not be more proud of our little warrior & her very strong & supportive sisters; Abby (10 years old) & Isabelle (6 years old). Maddie has led us through this journey with grace, strength, bravery and courage. Along the way our family has been inspired by the kindness of others.
Most recently, our family has been blessed to receive the support of your foundation, The John Shapiro Superheroes. We are privileged to be a recipient of your Foundation’s generosity. We admire your ability to honor your son, John, in a way that supports families, like ours, struggling with the affects of childhood cancer. We are forever grateful that our family was touched by John’s legacy and are honored to be the recipients of a gift that exemplifies such extreme generosity and kindness. We are forever grateful.

With Sincere Appreciation,
Christine & Harry Swenson
Abigail, Madeline & Isabelle

It's #GivingTuesday and we want to share the incredible impact our supporters have made this year. With the generosity of sponsors, race participants, and donors, John Shapiro’s Superheroes has been able to help 34 families with children bravely battling cancer.
These families are identified by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) as those experiencing the greatest financial need during this difficult time in their lives. Your support helps families afford holiday gifts, transportation to treatments, electric bills, lost income when a parent must stop working to care for their child, and other financial needs. Every donation offers relief and hope when it is needed most. 
Please consider helping us continue this important work. Every gift makes a difference right here in our local community.
