Mission Statement
At Turner's Heroes, we are strong believers that every patient is a Superhero; all we do is provide the capes! Through our connections with children's hospitals around the country, and with your support, we are able to hold events where patients can customize their own capes surrounded by their families and community heroes. With their capes, the patients become the Superheroes we know they already are! These events are all superhero-themed and are a way to engage with and support patients. We also support patients through "Hero Days" throughout the community where superhero dress-up days are dedicated to patients in the children's hospital. We are also strong supporters of those working to end pediatric cancer, and we support pediatric cancer research being conducted across the country through Discovery Grants.
About This Cause
At Turner's Heroes, we have three missions. Each is centered on the patient and are different ways to support them! Our first mission is to provide patients at children’s hospitals a means of escape and enjoyment through superhero-themed events. These events will include the customization of their own capes by patients as well as the distribution of other superhero-themed items. These special events will feature community heroes as well as special visits from real superheroes. The events will help patients to meet their favorite heroes as well as feel supported by their communities. Our second mission is to provide unique and special superhero-themed opportunities for patients and their communities. We will assist schools and communities in holding "Superhero Days" in which their students will dress in their favorite superhero attire in honor of a patient or someone in need in the community. These superhero-themed days in communities will allow for an outpouring of support of patients and families as we provide a platform for the writing and taping of messages of encouragement for patients! Our third mission is to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. While we support those who have to face the reality of being afflicted with cancer as a child, we want to see a world where that is no longer needed. We do this through the funding of Discovery Grants. These Discovery Grants will be administered through the children's hospitals, and multiple research teams will present to a panel that will decide which project to fund! The panel will consist of a mix of donors, community leaders, and those associated with Turner's Heroes. Your donations will go towards specific Discovery Grants that will investigate innovative approaches to combatting pediatric cancer. We hope that someday pediatric cancer will be no more.
