Superhero charity explodes in May with site launch, D-Backs game and Comicon
May, 2015
Phoenix, AZ– Arizona nonprofit group COMICARE stays extremely busy throughout the year visiting nearly every children’s medical facility in the valley. This May, the Comicare superheroes will find themselves extra busy. On top of celebrating the launch of their revamped website (www.comicare.org) they are joining the Arizona Diamondbacks for “Superhero Night” on Friday, May 22nd at Chase Field. Families will be able to meet and take pictures with their favorite comic book superheroes. The Diamondbacks organization is planning a variety of specials and activities.
Phoenix Comicon 2015 is right around the corner (May 28- 31) and COMICARE brings an exciting presence at their booth (#6017): games, prizes, giveaways and photo ops with top level superheroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Wonder Woman and Spider-man. COMICARE will also be accepting comic book donations that they pass on to children in valley hospitals.
“It is a big month for us,” explains Joe “ZEFF” Hyde, director of Comicare. “We have been working extremely hard visiting hospitals around the valley- and that is what we enjoy doing. It is sort of ‘icing on the cake’, to have three events like this where we get to mingle with the public and thank our community for their support.”
