About the Hero Dash:

Hosted by Cherokee County Child Welfare, the 6th Annual Hero Dash will be held at Norris Park in downtown Tahlequah.  Please join us for this superhero themed run as we bring awareness of child abuse and neglect and the need for foster homes and volunteers in Cherokee County.  

The Child Welfare Team believes it takes a community to make a difference and this run is a step in that direction.  All proceeds go toward fulfilling the needs of children involved with child welfare by providing clothing, school supplies, personal hygiene items, Christmas gifts, etc.
