"Our motto is 'Be a Hero, not a bully. Obviously, superheroes are super exciting everybody has their favorite superhero and we like to use that to engage our youth. 'Be a hero, not a bully' really gives them the courage to stand up for people who they know who are being bullied and even to speak up for," Madeline Williams, Capital Rebirth, said.
State police officers and Progress Fire Department also attended the event. Organizers say they wanted to make sure they included everyday heroes at the event.
