TUCSON, AZ / AGILITYPR.NEWS / September 01, 2026 / Tucson Federal Credit Union (TFCU) is the official Little Heroes Sponsor of Tucson Comic-Con, a special event that welcomes children and families facing serious illness for a morning of connection, comfort and fun.

An hour before Tucson Comic-Con opens to the public on Saturday morning, families are welcomed into the convention and greeted by cosplayers from groups across the community. Children receive goodie bags, take part in photo opportunities and experience the convention in a way many otherwise would not be able to, given the illnesses they are fighting or living with.

Kids and families joining Little Heroes come from Candlelighters, Ronald McDonald House, and a military family support program.

"Tucson Federal Credit Union exists to empower people and improve lives right here in our community, and Little Heroes is one of the purest examples of that mission in action. For one morning, these kids get to be kids first, surrounded by joy instead of illness, and we're honored to help make that possible," said Matthew Gaspari, President and CEO of Tucson Federal Credit Union.

Tucson Comic-Con takes place September 4 through 6, 2026, at the Tucson Convention Center. The Little Heroes event will start at 9am before general admission to Comic Con begins at 10am on Saturday, September 5.
