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 2014 charity is the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and Dragon Con will once again be providing matching funds up to $50,000. Founded in 1979, ACFB procures more than a million pounds of food and groceries each year and distributes it to more than 600 nonprofit partner agencies serving families and individuals in 29 metro Atlanta and north Georgia counties.

Since 2005, Dragon Con has raised over $311,000 for various charitable organizations. Some past recipients have been the 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.
