Costumed Characters for Causes

This is a group of cosplayers who dress up as favorite characters from pop culture and narrative lore. They use their costumes and props to raise funds and awareness for great charitable organizations that strive to heal sick children, such as the Seattle Children’s Hospital and Camp Good Times West. They also bring joy and smiles to kids and adults alike with their photobooths and events.

They are all volunteers (we call them our “Volunt-heroes”) who are dedicated and talented costumers willing to ply their time, skills, and motivation in a concerted effort to raise awareness and funding that will help children in our community.
