Batman Visits Edward Hospital
Edward Hospital got a special visit this weekend from Batman himself. On Saturday The Superhero Collective, in partnership with Rohrman Auto Group and Fox River Harley-Davidson, launched its inaugural motorcycle ride to help support kids with cancer. The Batman Ride traveled to three Chicagoland hospitals, including Naperville’s Edward Hospital, to deliver toys and smiles. The Caped Crusader himself arrived in style in a 1947 Cadillac. The Superhero Collective has been bringing superhero visits to hospitals for the past six years, and plans to make the motorcycle ride an annual event.

Yesterday RJM Strategy Group, DuPage Krav Maga and Woody Buick GMC teamed up to offer a Carjacking Prevention and Situational Awareness training workshop for members of the community.
