ST. LOUIS – Superheroes will once again converge in St. Louis as a part of a big, annual fundraiser called Superheroes for Kids, which helps St. Louis Arc.
St. Louis Arc is a non-profit agency that provides more than 3,500 children and adults with developmental disabilities. Last year, more than 350 people showed up to the event.
The superheroes event features four characters created specifically by the St. Louis Arc by Lion Forge Comics. The heroes are named Walk, Talk, Read and Write. They embody the Arc's therapy services for children.
The parents of Dylan Kaiser is incredibly grateful for the superheroes event and St. Louis Arc. They turned to the agency for therapy after their son was diagnosed with autism. They say the agency has helped improve Dylan's communication skills.
