What and How
C o s p l a y
What is cosplay? Simply put, it's a way of expressing fantasy fandom by dressing in costume and playing out a character.
Here's an Article link with a description of cos history and culture.
While cosplay could easily be dismissed as a niche fad, it is has become mainstream and even commercialized. For many cosplayers their activity helps them identify and express the characteristics and values shown in movies, TV shows, or comics. So, it's not far fetched at all to use this fan hobby for charitable activities.
// COS WITH CAUSE members play cos for good causes.
O u r O r i g i n S t o r y
Playing for good is at the core of our group.
The idea for COS WITH CAUSE came to our founder of legend while thinking about trash along roads and trails around his home area. He was thinking to himself that some hero should do something about that and pick it up. And it occurred to him that his favorite Star Wars characters were ordinary people (and life forms or droids) who accepted the call to a mission for the greater good. And so the idea of SW inspired operative Aron Mundar with his trash droid TH4-CN1 sidekick was born.
// You may for example be into Disney princess cosplay. Why not use it for promoting reading to young learners? Your actions could take place as storytimes at a local library. Use your favorite charater to do good.

Our actions are as unique as each member.
Want to know what Cause to play for and how? CC has more guidance for official crew members, and is sharing examples on our Facebook page. But as our origin story above shows, you can start with your favorite hero or heroine, and get an idea for what they might do if they were you. Or you could start with some cause you are passionate about and pick a character that fits. Or create your own cosplay for different ways of making a difference for others, our world, and all its needs.
