FenCon Designated Charity

Our designated charity for FenCon X will be the Autism Treatment Center.

Our 2013 charity efforts, including a limited edition signed and numbered art print by our Artist Guest of Honor, Charles Vess, and our annual charity auction, will raise funds for this exceptional local charity.
