Local Heroes Big and Small, Far and Wide: Delivering Happiness to Hospitalized Kids
Community StoriesFandom With Purpose
From paranormal investigators, to super heroes, to rebels and troopers — turn your passion into action.
Your community already has something powerful: people who show up for each other.
That's the idea behind Fandom with Purpose, an initiative that invites communities to channel their passion for iconic worlds and fundraise for programs that deliver happiness for hospitalized kids. Escaping into their favorite stories and characters can be transformative for a kid in the hospital, helping them heal through imaginative play. Turn your passion into action and help deliver that magic to kids who need it — no fandom is too niche and no group too small!

They are immediately distracted from their situation when they get to talk to their favorite characters in full costume, or become that character themselves. The magic of the movies is right there in the room.”
