The LVCPA is a talented group of volunteers, including costume designers, cosplayers, prop builders, and others whose goal is to bring smiles to children in need. We visit children in high quality costumes, with in character acting, to provide a genuine and magical experience as characters from a wide variety of genres, such as: Movies, Cartoons, Video Games, Anime, Disney, Pixar, Wrestling, Power Rangers, Comic Books, and more. We will do our best to fulfill any kid-friendly character request we get from any children’s facility.
We visit children in hospitals, cancer treatment facilities, homeless shelters, abuse shelters, grief counseling centers, community centers, schools, and more. We enjoy being invited to public events supporting local charities, charitable causes, and fundraisers, while spreading love and smiles.
We’ve have had the pleasure to work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, Nevada PEP, Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, Adam’s Place, RAD, FEAT, Clark County School District, the JET Foundation, and more.

“Children need great memories. As adults, we often revisit amazing childhood memories to find value, hope, inspiration, love, or just to escape from our adult lives. I have always wanted to be like the heroes that inspired me as a child. The Lone Ranger was my biggest inspiration. As I became an adult, I learned there was someone even greater than The Lone Ranger and that was the man who played him, Clayton Moore. Clayton Moore embodied the very spirit of all The Lone Ranger represented. He wore the costume and visited children in schools, hospitals, and clubs. He had silver bullets made to give to the children he visited and did so with his own money in a time when actors like him were not making millions. He understood that that act of goodness might inspire children to repeat and pass along acts of goodness. He inspired me to do what I do and I hope that my acts of goodness will inspire other children to someday repeat the acts and continue to pay it forward.”
