Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch will participate in a virtual panel event Saturday encouraging children to be safe and healthy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Titled "Whatever It Takes to Be a Hero," the streamed event kicks off a joint health initiative of The CW and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Hoechlin and Tulloch will join a panel, moderated by BGCA ambassadors, that will talk about general health. The "Everyday Hero Challenge" afterward will show ways youths can be active in their local communities during COVID-19 and protect themselves and others.
BGCA's Clubs and Youth centers have had to reconfigure activities for youths during the pandemic amid restrictions around the United States on indoor and group activities, incorporating more virtual programming.
"Whatever It Takes to Be a Hero" couples with The CW's "Real Heroes Wear Masks" poster campaign launched in August. More than 4,400 BGCA Clubs and Youth Centers received copies of posters showing Arrowverse stars Hoechlin, Melissa Benoist (as Supergirl), Brec Bassinger (as Stargirl), Grant Gustin (as The Flash), Cress Williams (as Black Lightning), Nafessa Williams (as Thunder), Caity Lotz (as White Canary) and Beebo (from Legends of Tomorrow) wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"Whatever It Takes to Be a Hero" will be streamed live at 2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
