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?
The goal of our event is to increase awareness of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), to recruit more volunteer advocates for children and to 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.
