ABOUT THE RUN
Since 2013, the Superhero Run has raised almost $1 million for Houston's battle against child abuse. Our annual 5K timed fun run/walk and kids 1K has quickly become a signature event for Child Advocates.




"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."
-Joseph Campbell
Child Advocates has been giving a voice to Houston's abused children since 1984.
Our advocate volunteers’ main job is to provide the court with recommendations about where the children they represent should live on a permanent basis. Throughout the case, our volunteers maintain contact with everyone involved in the children’s lives, from foster parents, biological parents and therapists to Child Protective Services caseworkers and attorneys appointed by the court. They make sure the children are receiving the medical and psychological help they need, and they meet with teachers and principals to help the children thrive in school. They dry tears, give hugs, and throw birthday parties, too. Most importantly, they serve as a 'constant' person for the children to count on during this tumultuous time. Essentially, our volunteers do whatever it takes to ensure that the needs of the children are being met while they are in care. Learn more about Child Advocates
