Announcing Our 2023 Charity: There With Care!
We’re so excited to announce our hosted Charity this year!
There With Care is an organization focused on caring for families who have children in need of medical care. They take care of things insurance doesn't, like transportation to and from appointments, meal delivery, childcare and support for siblings, even going so far as to offer therapy and legal counsel for families in crisis.
To help support them this year, we’ll be bringing back our annual Silent Auctions, going all weekend, as well as our Sunday Live Charity Auction! Our staff collects donations of items, usually anime related, and get them autographed to then auction to YOU. This is a really cool way to get prints signed by entire casts, or a hard to find autograph.
Our Silent Auctions will be taking place throughout the weekend, with end times posted for each item. Feel free to stop by the Charity Room, Iris, and grab a pen to write down your name and bid! May the odds be in your favor…
Our Live Auction will be taking place on Sunday in Main Events! Make sure to get there early for the good seats, cause we’ve got all kinds of fun stuff for this year!
Something new we’ll be adding this year is our Green Screen PhotoBooth! Swing by the Charity Room in Iris, across from Tabletop Gaming to get your picture taken and put on one of the available backgrounds!
Photos are free, and will be posted on Facebook throughout the weekend, and after the con. But if you’d like to donate, we’ll have a donation bin, or staff available with card readers.
If you’d like to get your photo printed at the con, we’ll be offering 2x3 polaroid photos for $5 each!
All proceeds collected from your donations this year will be going to There With Care. It's thanks to folks like yourself that we're able to make such a positive impact on our community year after year.
Our supported charity, There with Care, is in our Denver community, working with our local families to help make their lives even just a little easier during what could easily be their worst times. Even if you have insurance, it won't cover everything, and stress can pile up on people. Keeping up with bills, trying to maintain a lawn, or even making sure you have a babysitter. There with Care is ready to help however they can. We feel that really represents us as a community. Our Colorado Anime Fest family is always there for each other, and ready to help however we can.
