Giving Back through Cosplay
Kids Can Cosplay is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity whose mission is to make a positive difference in our community using the art of cosplay.
Supporting the Community
Stefanie joined Kids Can Cosplay in 2019 after meeting members of the team in costume after her family attended an outreach event at the local library where KCC was providing characters. Cosplay was always a part of her life, but this was an opportunity to help the community through creative expression.
Since then, she’s been an active participant in charity and community events and joined the board of directors in 2022.
Stefanie has participated in numerous community outreach and charity events. She was a member of the leadership team for several large community events, including the 2023 OC Autism “Breakfast with Santa” for which she received certificates of recognition from the California Legislature Assembly, The City of Garden Grove, and the City of Irvine.
Stefanie has also been a guest panelist at several comic and anime conventions and community library events, staffed the KCC outreach booth at conventions, and participated in toy drives and fundraisers.
During COVID, she recorded in-character story time videos for their YouTube channel, produced ‘pass’ videos featuring multiple members of the KCC team, and acted as characters for virtual visitations.

Library Story event As Captain Marvel at the Tustin Library for Kids Can Cosplay

One of Stefanie’s favorite things to do at library events is to lead an interactive story time!
She has now led a story event at the Tustin Library (Orange County Public Library), the Canyon Hills Library (Anaheim Public Library), and twice at the Main Branch of the Orange Public Library.
