AmeCon 2008 - Charity Events
This page explains the charity events at AmeCon. All proceeds made from the events are donated to charity (to be announced)
Charity Events
Every AmeCon we host charity events to help raise money for people in need. Through these events, a percentage of the sales is donated to charity, which is announced prior to the convention. It is through these events we hope that during a weekend where we are enjoying ourselves, we are hopefully able to bring joy to many others in need of help.
In 2007, AmeCon raised £1400 for the NSPCC from charity events, and we hope to do the same for charity this year (currently to be decided).
Charity Auction
The Charity Auction is held on Saturday evening after the cosplay masquerade, where uncommon or rare items are sold to the highest bidder. If you're serious about purchasing something very special, then it's best to save up now. A percentage of all sales are donated to charity. Convention special items are also available, where the full price is donated to charity.
For further information about the Charity Auction, please contact Jon Hallam on treasurer@amecon.org.
