In a world…

…where catastrophe can strike at any moment and children struggle to get the nutrition they need to grow strong, there are people — people like you — who are willing to run, walk, and even leap tall buildings to make a difference.

At sunrise on Aug. 30, 2014, superheroes from all over the world will gather to raise money for a life-changing organization, the USANA True Health Foundation.

This is no ordinary organization. 100 percent of proceeds go directly to the Foundation to provide the most critical human necessities — nutrition, clothing, shelter, medical assistance, and health education — to those who are suffering or in need.

The annual USANA Champions for Change 5K is like nothing you’ve ever experienced — where superheroes unite for one cause. #USANAUnited.

Last year, there were more than 2,500 heroes that filled the streets of downtown Salt Lake, and combined they helped raise more than $60,000 for the Foundation.

You won’t want to miss this mind-blowing event with celebrities such as this year’s emcee — Dr. Mehmet Oz, cardiothoracic surgeon and two-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning host of the three-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning The Dr. Oz Show.

But wait, there’s more! USANA spokeswoman, celebrity trainer, and fitness expert Kathy Kaehler will take the stage to energize the crowd with a 5K warm-up developed for Hollywood’s brightest stars.
