The event was free admission with donations going Tulsa Pop Kids. KHits was an official partner at the event.
Tulsa Pop Kids is a nonprofit whose primary focus is to advance literacy, inspiration, and aspiration to the children of the greater Tulsa community through pop culture and entertainment. Tulsa pop Kids finds this platform as an amazing way to capture a child’s focus and touch those who otherwise would not be exposed to a positive literacy environment.
As part of the Tulsa Pop Kids mission, the Superhero and Princess cosplayers visit The Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis every month. It inspires hope and motivation for each child while encouraging literacy. As well as providing comic books for area community schools, events, and organizations, Tulsa Pop Kids partners with other children organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Tulsa Housing Authority, Little Light House, Reading Partners, The Dream Center and more to inspire children. Tulsa Pop Kids also uses larger-than-life props, authentic cosplayers, and passionate volunteers to engage kids and make an emotional connection.
