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.

The Incredible Ace

November 9, 2021

Ace and family would like to thank John Shapiro’s Superheroes for the amazing donation.

Ace was diagnosed with infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 7 months in May 2021 and has been undergoing treatment over the past six months at CHOP. After 2 rounds of chemo, Ace achieved remission, but unfortunately relapsed after only a few weeks. On October 19th Ace was able to get his CART cells and the fight continues.

There are no words to express how hard it is to see your child have to fight such an aggressive disease, at times you feel so helpless. It is uplifting to receive so many kind words and gestures from family, friends, and the community. John Shapiro is an inspiration and we are so grateful to his superheroes for the generous donation. Here’s our superhero.

Thank you so much.
With love,

The Penson family

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.
