Live, Learn & Play, a Lehigh Valley non-profit dedicated to helping local families with Autism and special needs children, is hosting a Superhero 5K and Family 1 Mile Walk and fundraiser for all family members on Sunday, June 5th from 8:30am – 12pm at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem. This event is sponsored by Croslis Law.
Participants in this year’s race are encouraged to wear their Superhero capes and attire. Prizes will be awarded for the most unique and outstanding costumes. White capes will be available for purchase to decorate your own cape to enter in the cape decorating contest or participants can bring their own pre-decorated capes to enter. There will be face painting, a sensory area, and lots of Superhero-themed activities for kids of all ages to enjoy.
“Our goal is to create inclusive family entertainment, for families with Autism and typical families as well” says Jill VanKuren, President of Live Learn & Play. “This is our second year with the Superhero theme. Last year, it was a blast for everyone. It’s always so much fun to see everyone dressed up and having fun! It is our hope that this event will also help us provide more services and programs to our local children and families who really need support”
