Countless individuals throughout New York City extend extraordinary and selfless acts on behalf of others every day, oftentimes going unrecognized for their support. Superheroes stems from defeat the streets’ desire to honor individuals who help those in need, putting a spot light on their good deeds and offering them the recognition they deserve. Through the year we will showcase individuals who devote their time and energy on behalf of others and whose contributions produce powerful results, awarding them with the defeat the streets Cape in honor of their heroic contributions, and pampering them with a dinner gift certificate. We look forward to watching our league of Superheroes grow over time!
