2024 Hero Squad Surpassed Their Goal

Congratulations to the 2024 Hero Squad for their incredible achievement to raise nearly $20,000 during September’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month — surpassing their goal.

This dedicated group of compassionate individuals came together with the shared purpose: to support children facing their toughest battle — cancer. Nominated by Connor’s Heroes Board of Directors, their co-workers, and even hero families, the Hero Squad are passionate about giving back, especially to help children.

Congratulations to Lindsay Fulton for being our top fundraiser. Lindsay signed up for the Hero Squad to honor the childhood cancer hero she knows, Kasen. Kasen is a courageous six-year-old in treatment for ALL.

Hero Squad Soiree

We celebrated the Hero Squad with a special party, The Hero Squad Soiree, at Richmond’s top BBQ spot, ZZQ. One of our hero patients, Lindsey, now a sophomore at High Point University, shared her heartfelt story. She reminded us that when we rally as a community, we all become heroes in the fight against childhood cancer.

If you believe in the power of giving back and want to make a lasting impact on children in your community, consider signing up for the Hero Squad (coming September 2025). For the students and teens, we offer the Jr. Hero Squad during the summer. Find out more by visiting: https://www.connorsheroes.org/hero-squad/
