Project Superhero is a 501(c)3 non profit charity organization located on the beautiful Crystal Coast of Eastern North Carolina, USA. We are staffed by volunteers from our community. Since we formed in 2015, our main purpose is to send superhero characters to children’s charities, fundraisers, and pediatric hospitals in our community.
As of July 2024, we are currently ONLY making volunteer hospital visits to support pediatric patients. We also will volunteer our time for children with life threatening illnesses or diseases, please reach out if you meet this criteria.
Our Origin Story
Project Superhero was just a dream in early 2015 when our co-founder, Rodney, dressed up as Batman to read to his daughter’s first grade class (See pic right). The amazing response of those 6 year old kids during this cute little classroom visit sparked an idea.
That idea blossomed into a wonderful group of individuals in our community volunteering their time to visit children all over Eastern NC. By November of 2015 Project Superhero Inc was officially formed.
Since 2015, Project Superhero has been volunteering non-stop. Just to name a few- our group has visited The James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital, Duke Children’s Hospital, Lennox Baker Children’s Clinic at Duke, UNC Children’s Hospital, and Richmond’s Children’s Hospital at VCU.
Since 2015 we have made over 800 charity appearances!
