On April 26, Viera Elks Lodge #2817 supported the Superhero 5k, an annual event organized by Friends of Children of Brevard to raise money for their organization, which helps support the social, emotional and educational needs of the nearly 1,000 children in the welfare/foster system in Brevard County. They are committed to changing the tough reality where kids’ lives are turned upside down by being removed from their home and placed into the welfare/foster system. Lodge members and Antlers participated in various events. They also had a shade tent where participants could get cold water and get out of the sun for a few moments. They were also a $1,500 sponsor, which they funded by their Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant.
