West Melbourne, FL – Heroes Chasing Hope is celebrating its recent achievement of 501(c)(3) status by holding a carnival-style, fundraising event for children presented as a Superhero Training Camp Fun Day, Saturday, September 6, 2025, 10am-3pm, West Melbourne Community Park in West Melbourne. Our costumed heroes will be available for photos and interaction. Games especially geared towards children 4-10 years old, such as Wall Smash Challenge and Hero Hammer Throw, will spark their imaginations as they complete each activity, “training” to become superheroes, culminating in being awarded several prizes. A Reptile Show, facepainting, emergency services Touch-a-Truck and food truck vendors with delicious offerings available for purchase will round out this fun event.
Admission is free but donations will be gratefully accepted. The mission of Heroes Chasing Hope is to bring smiles, hope, and faith to hurting children. Funds raised will help provide superhero visits and gifts to bring encouragement and joy to children experiencing difficult challenges, such as sickness, injury, disability or living in foster care.
Daniel Harris, founder and president of Heroes Chasing Hope, was inspired to start this nonprofit after being invited to participate in a Relay for Life event for cancer research. Dressed in a Captain America costume, Daniel was amazed at the overwhelming response he received from the children and parents. “After participating in a few other similar events, I realized that superhero visits might be a great way to bring some positivity to children in need,” Daniel shares. He teamed up with a group of like-minded friends and Heroes Chasing Hope was born!
Business sponsors and donations of suitable prizes, bottled water, canopy tents and Amazon gift cards would be greatly appreciated to offset the costs of the event.
