This was one fun Sunday for a super cause: Superhero Sunday! WTNH was a proud media sponsor of the Connecticut Children’s Foundation, in partnership with Ball 4 a Cure 3rd Edition Superhero Sunday 5K Run, Walk & Roll, Kids Mile & Community Bash.

People and families came from all over to take part, many of them in capes or superhero costumes. Laura Hutchinson and I were honored to serve as emcees and as parents we realize how fortunate we are to have a hospital like Connecticut Children’s. Not every state has this.

The event helps support the more than 140,000 kids cared for each year at Connecticut Children’s. “Our main purpose is to take care of children and patients and families, and a lot of things we do were not reimbursed for, and so it takes philanthropic dollars to help us do everything we do at Connecticut Children’s,” COO Bob Duncan told News 8.
