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.

Providing love along the way

May 16, 2017

To the wonderful volunteers at the John Shapiro Superhero Foundation,
Words cannot even express how thankful my family and I are for the wonderful donation that was given to us. This money has eased some of the financial burden surrounding our 3-year-old son’s cancer treatment. He has been battling ATRT, which is a rare form of brain cancer for the past year and a half. It has been extremely tough emotionally and financially but it helps tremendously to have family, friends and volunteers to support and provide love along the way.
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
God Bless,
Michael and Janine Abate (Anthony’s parents)

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.
