A nonprofit for kids, cosplayers & families
Bringing the magic of fandom to kids facing medical challenges.
KausePlay connects trained volunteer cosplayers with children in hospitals, at family events, and at our medically-safe convention for immunocompromised kids, because every child deserves to meet their hero.
Safety first
Every visit, every event, and every volunteer is designed around the health, comfort, and wellbeing of the child.
A little magic
Imagination and laughter can bring light to hard days. That’s the whole reason we exist.
Everyone welcome
Every kid, family, and volunteer is welcomed, respected, and celebrated exactly as they are.
Two conventions. One mission.
KausePlay hosts two very different conventions. One grows the community, and one serves the kids who need us most.
For the whole community
KausePlay Con
An all-ages public convention celebrating cosplay, fandom, and creativity, and our biggest recruitment moment for new volunteer cosplayers.
