Fueled by imagination, creativity, and a love for lifting others up, Build a Hero is a spirited, team-building experience where participants channel their inner superheroes to bring joy and confidence to children in need. Using our proprietary BridgeTheApp™ on Apple® iPads®, teams compete in high-energy photo, video and trivia challenges to earn the materials needed to assemble custom superhero costumes. From crafting capes and masks to writing comic book storylines and live performances, this dynamic event is equal parts fun, teamwork, and heart. The end result? A set of fully outfitted, ready-for-action superhero kits donated to kids who need a reminder of their own strength.
