Empowering Young Heroes Through Causeplay

At Justice League of WNY, we believe in the power of imagination and creativity. Our mission is to inspire and uplift children through the art of causeplay, providing them with opportunities to express themselves and connect with their favorite heroes. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of young dreamers, fostering a community where every child can shine.

Free Comic Book Day Festival

With the Free Comic Fest we bring the feeling and flavor of a comic con to those kids who may not otherwise have the chance to go to a media convention. Featuring local artists and musicians, along with an array of vendors, this free event aims to help inspire at-risk kids to aim big and see themselves as heroes. The kids receive free comics and other goodies from local comic book shops. They get to meet and mingle with not just some of their favorite characters, but local artists who will inspire them to explore artistic pursuits such as drawing, writing, singing and more.

Dare to Dream Dance

Dare to Dream is a dance we put together to honor those tiny heroes who fight battles every day that you and I can only imagine. Their spirit and smiles shine brightly through it all. We aim to give them back a small portion of that positivity through this invite-only event. We welcome the kids of Brave Little Fighters and Stone’s Buddies of Oishei Children’s Hospital to this annual prom-styled event, to be able to experience the world as a child, and truly be happy. If we can show them even a sliver of the power these kids have, in just a few short hours, then we have done our jobs properly.

Annual Fundraising Gala

Our Annual Gala is our main fundraiser.

Book Us For 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.

Events you can find us at:

  • Hospital Visits
  • School Events
  • Community Events
  • Charity Events (Walks, fundraisers, drives, etc)
