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.

Fight on, Yerachmiel!

March 4, 2021

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for graciously reaching out to us and helping out financially.

Our son, Yerachmiel was diagnosed in May 2017. He was treated in Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with chemo and radiation and then continue spending the winter in Memorial Sloan Hospital in NY City with antibodies. From there we moved to immunotherapry in Washington DC.  and is still struggling to fight his battle. With your generosity it gives us the tools and strength to get through this test. May you be able to continue helping out all in need.

Sincerely,

Parents of Yerachmiel
