For 2021, Dragon Con’s charity event will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, and as usual, Dragon Con hosts several charity events throughout the show. The flagships events are the Books & Art Auction, Saturday 11:30AM–2PM, and the Main Charity Auction, Sunday 10AM–2PM, both in Hyatt Hanover C–E. Dragon Con will also match all money raised up to $100,000!
If you’d like to help, we would love to have you donate an item for us to sell at the charity auction. Items sold at past charity auctions have included books, comic books, artwork, signed photos, movie props, prop replicas, toys, games, costumes, store and restaurant gift cards, weekend getaways at hotels, site visits to the “live” set of a TV series, a meal with an actor or writer, a writing review by an editor, and much more. The Charity Events Booth will be open from 10AM–7PM Friday and Saturday, in the Marriott, one floor below the hotel registration desk. At the booth, we’ll be displaying items that have been donated, as well as accepting additional donated items. If you need help with your donation, come by the booth and we will have a staff member go with you to pick up the item.
