Tom Holland (Spider-Man) made a surprise visit to LA County + USC Medical Center this morning to personally deliver the first of $1 million worth of toys donated by Funko to Starlight Children’s Foundation as part of the week-long Marvel The Universe Unites charity campaign! Tom arrived in Amazon’s Treasure Truck to make the special delivery before spending time with children at the hospital.
Marvel: The Universe Unites brings the cast of Avengers: Infinity War together in a series of #HeroActs and social media challenges to raise funds and awareness for foundations that support children and families impacted by serious illness.
The week-long event kicked off with a social media challenge for the stars of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War. Cast members received special toy care packages filled with new products celebrating their Marvel character to be donated to children’s hospitals. Their mission? To create a picture or video to reveal the new toys to fans and post on social media with the goal of collectively reaching a million likes. The Super Heroes moved at record speed with their #HeroActs posts and reached the goal in less than 24 hours, unlocking a $250,000 donation to Starlight Children’s Foundation.
