| Charity | Each year, Dragon Con selects a different Charitable Organization as the recipient of all funds donated at that year’s show. Funds are raised at several charity events throughout the weekend. The 2016 charity is the Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency, and Dragon Con will once again be providing matching funds up to $50,000. The ACSS’s mission is to empower homeless individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and lead the fight in breaking the cycle of homelessness in Greater Atlanta and beyond by providing a hand up – not a hand out. The ACSS is the largest and most successful provider of Workforce Development resources to homeless men and women in Atlanta. Since 2010, more than 1,700 people have been served by their programs and more than 1,300 have obtained full-time employment!
Since 2005, Dragon Con has raised and/or donated over $800,000 for various charitable organizations. Some past recipients have been the Lymphoma Foundation, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the Georgia Chapter of the Lupus Foundation, the National Inclusion Project, The National Alzheimer’s Association, Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, and the Georgia Conservancy. 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. |
