Heroes Unite fundraiser is Saturday, Aug. 3

The Lambert family of Maple Lake will hold their bi-annual Heroes Unite fundraiser on Saturday, August 3 at the Maple Lake Community Park from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The fundraiser raises money to find a cure for KAND (KIF1A Associated Neurological Disorder) a rare disease five-year-old Hoyt Lambert battles every day. The event will feature an all new 5K run followed by the Tiny Hero Dash. Children are invited to wear their best superhero getups (or Superhero Hoyt t-shirts) and will be provided with silly string and squirt guns to fire at lurking villains as they run around the park. This family friendly event is geared toward the youngsters with superhero themed games, a bounce house and face painting. There will be plenty of food and a silent auction.
