Name: Judy Daub
Hometown: Avon, OH
How they give back:
Judi is the community outreach coordinator for the Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio. This nonprofit helps patients endure adversity by dressing up as crusaders. She and two friends began the organization nearly eight years ago because they wanted to help brighten the day of children who are currently undergoing treatment. They pride themselves on simple acts of kindness, recognizing individuals who have battled through adversity, and encouraging the involvement of community to make a positive difference in the lives of children. They do it because they love to see the smiles on the kid's faces and they believe in the end the kids are the real heroes.
