The Bat Signal is in the sky! Jump into the Batmobile, Batman!
Sprint to the phone booth Clark Kent and fly out at Superman!
The superheroes will be out in force for the CASA Superhero 5K in Guyton.
Sorry, Gotham City and Metropolis.
Effingham County runners, walkers, people with babies in strollers or doggies on leashes are welcome to sign up for the 12th Annual run which starts at the Guyton Civic Center, 8 a.m., Oct. 26. Dressing up as a favorite superhero is encouraged.
“Services are provided free to children and families and empowers families,” said Dr. Julie Pickens, executive director of CASA Ogeechee. “The Superhero Race raises money for kids and families, and the race embodies the spirit of Guyton.”
A CASA volunteer has several duties, but all of them are centered around the child and the child’s best interests. According to the CASA of Southeast Georgia website, A CASA volunteer develops a supportive relationship with the child and is a constant companion; provides safety and well-being for the child in and out of the courtroom; and provides first-hand, independent information and recommendations to the Court.
