Dear Upper St. Clair School District Community,

We hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to invite all students, staff, and families of the Upper St. Clair School District to participate in the upcoming Joey Fabus Superhero Run Over DIPG on Sept. 15th. This year's event is particularly special as we honor Sam Levine, a 2024 USCHS graduate, who is courageously battling DIPG.

The Joey Fabus Superhero Run is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, support a great cause, and show our solidarity with Sam and his family during this challenging time. To make it easier for everyone to join, we are offering a $5 discount for all Upper St. Clair students, staff, and their families. Simply use the code LEVINE2024 when registering.

Let's come together to show our strength, support, and superhero spirit for Sam and all those affected by DIPG.

Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to seeing you all on race day!
