Paizo's Humble Bundles have helped bring comics to kids and teens in hospitals in the US and the UK by choosing Comicbooks for Kids!
When it started seven years ago, Comicbooks For Kids! had a dream: to provide comic books to children in hospitals and cancer centers. These books not only provided escapism for the kids and teens, but also reduced their anxiety and gave the hospital staff a new way to bond with them.
But they had a challenge. Without financial support, they had no way to provide more books to more hospitals.
That's where Paizo stepped in with their Humble Bundles.
Mark Weiss, Founder and President of ComicBooks For Kids! reports, “This year and directly attributed to Paizo and these Humble Bundles, we are now the largest charity in not only the US, but the world (as we now have a branch in the UK) for the items we provide. We now support over 200 hospitals in all 50 states to all demographics. Moreover, we have been able to provide almost 500,000 items across the world. These items have grown from comic books to now include coloring books, action figures, funko pops, T-shirts, toys, games and yes items from Paizo too! Our indoor storage space, necessary for infectious disease controls, has grown to over 1100 SQ feet stacked with goodies to give to the children. As the executive Director, I joyfully spend 60 hours a week ensuring that goodness happens!”
In addition to providing comics to kids, they have started a sister charity called ComicBooks for Troops. Overnight, they became the largest charity in the US sending these items to the troops.
None of this would be possible without the support of Paizo. The current Pathfinder Second Edition Legacy Humble Bundle benefiting ComicBooks For Kids! ends Saturday, January 6 at 11 AM Pacific.
Moving forward, ComicBooks For Kids! has many big plans for 2024. Visit their website to keep up with all that they do.
