Industry Support MechaCon extends its heartfelt thanks to the following donors of prizes, charity items and general swag for our event. It is with the support of these companies that we are able to continue providing you, the attendees, with such a great annual event!
Charity Auction At MechaCon in both 2005 and 2006, we were very proud to have held charity auctions to benefit Faith House, a shelter for abused women and children here in Lafayette, LA. The strong show of support at these auctions really helped to show the anime community’s spirit of caring and concern toward those whose lives have been torn apart by domestic violence. Considering the nature of the service Faith House provides, we feel it is our duty as decent human beings to help them out as much as we possibly can. This is why we need the continued support of the anime community and industry… we simply cannot do it alone. MechaCon is honored to proclaim, since its inception, that the anime community and industry has been dedicated to helping the abused women and children in our community. This auction is our way of showing how much we care… how much the anime fans of tomorrow mean to us. We’d like to thank each and every person who braved the oncoming Hurricane Katrina to join us in 2005, as well as those who joined us in 2006. With your support, we raised $1,579.00 for Faith House at our 2005 auction and exceeded that initial sum by raising $2,590.00 in 2006! This year, we are proud to continue this tradition of helping those in need. Please join us at the MechaCon 3.0 Charity Auction and bid frequently and generously. Once again, we’ve gathered a variety of unique and hard-to-find items for this event... some of which you will never find anywhere else... especially if you are a die-hard fan of Transformers. Our sincerest thanks go to the Grand Theatre 16 for their incredibly generous donation to our auction and for their support of Faith House. Central Park Media, ADV Films, FUNimation, Anime Network and Dark Horse Comics continue to show their support with items that are sure to appeal to even the most casual of anime fans, and plushie fans won’t want to miss Brickhead Studios’ contribution of a homemade Domo-kun plushie! With all this, as well as as-yet-unannounced items, courtesy of some of our dealers, it’s easy to see why this auction is a can’t-miss event!
