Mission Statement

Humble Heroes is a group of committed volunteers joining forces to achieve one common goal - to lift the spirits of ill and grieving children. Disguised as the most famous heroes of our time, we visit local hospitals and grief centers, bringing joy to kids fighting life's injustices.

Description

In 2015, Robert Banome and his closest friends dressed as Power Rangers for a Halloween party where they engaged in conversation with a woman whose son had cancer and who said that a visit from the Power Rangers could brighten his day. This idea got the group’s wheels turning about how they could combine their enjoyment for donning costumes with their passion for making children smile. The excitement and joy from the children was contagious and spread to the group. They knew this was something they wanted to continue doing. Friends and family members began volunteering their costumes and their time to visit children in need wherever they could. Word about the visits spread through New York and New Jersey. Soon, the group was visiting children at hospitals and special needs schools on a monthly basis. The growing group called themselves The Humble Heroes. The Humble Heroes mission grew out of a small group of friends with Halloween costumes and big hearts. They proudly continue to recruit exceptional volunteers from different backgrounds, different careers and different skill sets. But they all share a common goal of lifting the spirits of children in need and spreading the message of volunteerism...all while dressed as the world’s most famous superheroes.
