Hero Squad & Jr. Hero Squad

The Hero Squad is an exclusive group of people across Central Virginia who are passionate about their community and can inspire others to help children fight cancer. Each member of The Hero Squad has a personal fundraising page. You can donate for a specific Hero Squad Member. You can donate every month or make a single gift. Every dollar will help the Hero Squad meet their goal! If you or you know someone to join The Hero Squad, contact Celia at celia@connorsheroes.org.

Hero Squad

The Hero Squad is made up of professionals who have a heart for philanthropy. As a member of the Hero Squad, you commit to raise $1,000 for children with cancer in September. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. You can raise the money through individual asks, social media, restaurant give back nights, social events, corporate giving — you name it! If you or you know someone to join The Hero Squad, contact Celia at celia@connorsheroes.org. In the past, Connor’s Heroes hosted a party to celebrate the success of the Hero Squad.

Jr. Hero Squad

The Jr. Hero Squad is open to preschool through high school students. As a member of the Jr. Hero Squad, you commit to raise $500 during the summer. You can fundraise by yourself or with a group of friends. Our Jr. Hero Squad members put the fun in fundraising. They had bake sales, did yard work, played soccer tournaments, and hosted a swim-a-thon! If you or you know someone to join The Jr. Hero Squad, contact Celia at celia@connorsheroes.org.
