What is The Baker Center’s SuperK Walk, Roll & Fun?

Be a mental health hero! The goal of the SuperK Walk, Roll & Fun Run is to spread awareness and advocacy for mental health challenges and resources. When you join forces with The Baker Center, ordinary actions can be heroic for the children and families who rely on our life-changing programs.

Ask your friends, family, and co-workers for donations that support The Baker Center’s life-changing programs for children and families.

Join us on Saturday, May 6, on the Charles River Esplanade, and walk, roll or run to the finish line!

Why the SuperK?

Your story is your superpower! It’s important for children and families struggling to know that they are not alone. Sharing your story helps promote understanding and empathy with others with similar experiences. That sense of connection and healing is what our SuperK is all about.

Join us in sharing the things that make you special. Take a picture or video sharing a strength, interest, or hobby that reflects your personal superpower. It could be something like playing softball, playing with a pet, climbing trees, drawing, journaling, reading a book, cooking – whatever brings happiness into your world! Share on social media using #BakerSuperK.

Where does the money go?

Your fundraising will benefit The Baker Center’s programs that help children and families break through the stigmas and barriers that hold them back, expanding access to mental health support, improving health and wellness, and fulfilling hopes and dreams. For more information about where your money goes, see the section “Your Donations at Work” in this document.

How much do I have to fundraise?

There is no required fundraising minimum for the SuperK Walk, Roll & Fun Run, but we recommend setting a $250 fundraising goal to start – because fundraisers with a goal simply raise more money than those without one.

Prizes will be awarded to the top adult and child fundraisers.
