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?

We believe all children should be supported and feel safe and for the children experiencing abuse or neglect, this is not the case. 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, to recruit new volunteers and raise funds to support our mission. 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.
