| Charity | We are so very excited to partner with Literacy Action as our 2018 official charity. Dragon Con will again be matching dollar to dollar, up to $100,000, for any money raised for this charity at the 2018 convention.
For nearly 50 years, Literacy Action has been a grassroots driver of free adult learning services providing various levels of educational instruction to advance adults towards employment, citizenship, better wages and post-secondary education. Founded in 1968 by volunteers at the Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Atlanta, Literacy Action is now the largest nonprofit provider of free adult basic education in Georgia, with a staff of 28 and 21 locations around the metro-Atlanta area Literacy Action builds better futures for undereducated adults by teaching literacy, life, and work skills that empower them to reach their highest potential. There are thousands of low-literate adults in the Metro area who desire the ability to enhance their basic educational skills. Literacy Action makes this possible by offering a series of adult education classes free of charge, with flexible schedules, and at multiple convenient locations. To learn more about the Literacy Action, visit http://literacyaction.org/. Each guest agreement requests two donations to our Charity Auction. This is your friendly reminder that YOU have the opportunity to make a difference and help us raise money for a great cause. We get a lot of questions on what to donate, so we are happy to provide some ideas to help you: autographed headshots from our Walk of Fame Guests, any show memorabilia they may own (this has brought in *huge* dollars in past auctions), signed artwork, autographed sides (episode notes from shows), autographed scripts, or autographed movie or television promo posters. Want to give something personal that fans would go wild for? Try auctioning off a meal with a fan while at the show. For the authors out there, signed books certainly work, but if you prefer a more creative approach, we’ve had great success auctioning off Tuckerizations. Items can be dropped off in VIP Badge Pick Up or in the Charity Auction booth at the Marriott. |
