RavenCon is active in community service. Each year we hold a Charity Auction to raise funds for that year’s designated charity. Our programming guests, dealers, and attendees all generously donate items to be auctioned off. So far, RavenCon has raised over $25,000 for charities and non-profit organizations.
2026 Charity Auction
RavenCon is supporting RVA Community Fridges this year.
Mutual aid means that we each give from our own abundance. RVA Community Fridges is about more than free food. It’s neighbors helping neighbors. It’s sharing our abundance and receiving what we need. It’s creating and taking back space— for the people, by the people. It’s about building a more resilient community.
