Be a Hero to Heritage Christian Services

Enjoy the day on the shores of Lake Ontario at Ontario Beach Park and the Charlotte Pier when you register to attend and/or collect donations for the Heritage Hero event on Saturday, Sept. 27.

When you raise money, you make a difference in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, today and in the future. Participants can choose to participate in a 5K or a one-mile stroll, or come as a cheerleader for your personal hero and help raise funds!
