Big Country CASA’s Superhero 5K

🦸‍♂️ Event Overview

Join us for the 9th Annual Superhero 5k Fun Run (Walk, Run or Fly!) at the ACU Williams Performing Arts Center in Abilene, Texas.

🤔 Why Run?

• Purpose: We believe all children should be supported and feel safe and for the children experiencing abuse or neglect, this is not the case.
• Advocacy: The goal of our event is to increase awareness of our CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteer services advocating for children from Taylor County in the foster care system.
• Recruitment: We aim to recruit new volunteers and raise funds to support our mission.
• Support: All proceeds from our race will directly benefit Big Country CASA in our mission to give a “voice” to abused and neglected children in court and the Taylor County foster care system.
