Joey Fabus Superhero Run Over DIPG 5K Race/Walk Participants and Sponsors Encouraged to Register

The Joey Fabus Superhero Run Over DIPG 5K Race/Walk will be held on Sunday, September 17, 2023 at 9:00 am. The race starts at Bethel Park High School and the course goes through local neighborhoods.

Joey was an 8-year-old boy who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in May 2014. His cancer was DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) and currently the survival rate is 0%. On January 21, 2015 Joey died from DIPG. The Joey Fabus Childhood Cancer Foundation (JFCCF) was formed in his honor to help bring awareness and funding to find a cure for DIPG. This Race is JFCCF’s largest fundraiser with over 400 participants last year.

The Foundation is looking for not only runners and walkers but also company sponsors. By extending your support for this race, you will be exposing your company to Pittsburgh’s large running community while demonstrating your compassion for children who are currently diagnosed with DIPG and those who have passed. Please be a superhero to the community and most importantly the children by supporting this cause. JFCCF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness and funding to find a cure for DIPG. Sponsorship and donations are tax deductible. Please visit jfccf.org to learn more about DIPG and to see the amazing work the foundation is doing. Please direct any questions to David Fabus at 412-758-1121 or fabusangels6pgh@verizon.net
