2022 Cosplay Collective Toy Drive

Every year at Christmas, Cosplay Collective raises toys and funds to deliver to the children at The Children's Hospital at Tri-Star Centennial in Nashville, TN.

We will use the proceeds to buy several gifts for each child in the hospital for the holidays. We also include any siblings they may have since much of the attention is focused on the ill child, and we don't want them to be left out. We have been fortunate to have increased our funds each year and looking forward to breaking our record, but anything will help. Anything left is used throughout the year to purchase items for visits we make, so we may bring gifts when we are asked to participate in wish granting with Dreams and Wishes of Tennessee or Make-a-wish and for other events that come up throughout the year. Cosplay Collective is a large group of costumers in Middle Tennessee that visit hospitals, senior living spaces, charity events, zoo events, special events throughout Middle Tennessee, and sometimes beyond.

We partner with the Star Wars groups, the Ghostbusters, and other groups in the area to bring the widest variety of characters to entertain and spread joy and love for all. All our participants are volunteers, giving their skills, talent, and time for nothing more than a smile in return. Any support will mean so much to us and our cause. There is nothing like seeing a child (or an adult, for that matter) gleaming with joy when their favorite characters come to say hi! Your donations give us another way to add to the pleasure and show that there are people who care. Thank you beyond belief for considering and donating to help spread joy, kindness and love, not just at Christmas but throughout the year. Please follow us at:
