Superhero September is North Central’s largest fundraiser of the year. It is our community reinvestment in collaboration with the Put on the Cape: a Foundation of Hope and we generate thousands of dollars in support of three local Child Assessment Centers–Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center serving Crawford, Iosco, Ogemaw, Oscoda, and Roscommon Counties; the CAN Council which supports children in Arenac County, and the Kent County CAC supporting Kent County.
Plan to dress up as your favorite Superhero and come out and walk, run or roll to help protect our children! This year we are also offering a Disc Golf Skins Match with a chance to win money on every hole!
Superhero September Is Coming!
This year’s theme is LIGHT UP THE DARK!, featuring a glow-in-the-dark feel for many events.

Superhero September, in collaboration with Put on the Cape: a Foundation of Hope, is our largest fundraiser, and we need your support to make a difference in the lives of children in need.
