| About The Superhero Foundation |
| The Superhero Foundation, Inc. is a Texas non-profit corporation which has applied for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status located in Austin, Texas. So...what's our motivation? 2 years ago, I went through a men's weekend retreat at St. John Neumann Catholic Church called CRHP (Christ Renews His Parish). That weekend helped me reflect on a lot of things in my life, the most important of which was my purpose on this earth. I had spent my entire life working on great personal success, and had spent none of my time working on making the world a better place. It wasn't because I didn't care, I think it was just that I was so consumed in my own life that I had not taken the time to notice the pain and suffering around me. And if I had, well, I guess I just thought that there wasn't much I could really do about any of it. On January 2nd of this year, I shot up in bed at 2am with an epiphany, a distinct message: wake up and get started tonight! Movements are started with simple actions - but they take ACTION. God laid a heavy message on my heart that night about the horrible epidemic of child abuse. And it was time to take action. Registering this website, and the subsequent discussion and planning of The Superhero Run with my wife Jackie and my good friend Stephen Schultz became that action. We discussed in-depth the awfulness of child abuse, and our desire to fight the battle against this evil. Our fight would culminate in the form of a fun run and musical jam in wonderful downtown Austin Texas....fully dressed as SUPERHEROES. We would use that platform to celebrate childhood, and raise awareness and funds to help support the victims of child abuse. And our hope, our ultimate goal, would become the start of a movement to rid the world of this awful sin. We hope that you will join us in this movement. We hope that you too will have an epiphany. That you will come to know that great things can come from simple actions, from simple good deeds. Superheroes are those that bring hope to others. And you have a chance everyday to be a superhero to those children in your life by showing them love and giving them hope. We dare you to move, to get involved, to make an impact, and to help change this world for the better. Just by getting involved in this run, you will have made a lasting and positive impact on the lives of many children who have fallen victim to the evils of abuse. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, gifts, and your actions. Loving Regards, Matt Curtin The Superhero Foundation Matt & Jackie Curtin Stephen Schultz Kim Wereley Jim & Debra Larsen Robert Lin |
