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.

Courage through it all

May 16, 2017

Dear Nancy and Ron,

We can’t begin to thank you enough for your very kind and generous gift to our family. As with all families who learn that their child has cancer, our world was turned upside down the moment our son, Leo, received the diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Life as we knew it for our very busy family of seven came to an abrupt halt as we all had to learn to adjust home, school and work schedules to focus on helping Leo to fight the cancer. The demands that a cancer diagnosis puts on a family are great.  There are enormous physical, emotional and financial pressures. Through it all, Leo has shown an amazing level of strength, determination and courage. He has a maturity well beyond his 17 years.
