Please keep in mind that these questions are to try and cover all eventualities. Please be as complete as possible as this will help us greatly in considering your request. If you are unable to provide certain things (food is a good example), this does not mean we are unable to do the event. If given no special considerations, however, it may prove difficult for us to comfortably perform an event (especially secure changing space, lack of water, difficult parking arrangements and limitations on who we can send).

While we do our best to accept as many requests as possible, we are unable to do them all.

Thank you for your interest in having the Justice League of WNY at your event!

Our team of costumed volunteers loves entertaining kids, and helping charities.

The Justice League of WNY is a 501c3 Non-profit, and all of our members are 100% volunteers. We are happy to accept donations as we use the funds to buy comics, toys and other goodies for our hospital visits and Kids Care Packs, help with our daily operations and insurance, and also make donations to other local charities such as Feedmore WNY.

Please note, we do not do personal events such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries nor do we do political events such as political marches, rallies or fundraisers for political causes. We can refer you to several local groups that have characters for hire for those types of things.
