Sponsored by Orthane Press and Noble Knight Games, the Gary Con XVII Charity Auction raised over $85,000 to support Children’s Wisconsin and help sick kids get essential care. The auction has become an iconic part of Gary Con’s annual events. Collectors, enthusiasts, and convention attendees will gather to see what had been donated to the auction this year and partake in bidding to help support our charitable cause—Children’s Wisconsin.
Funds raised in 2025 through the auction and other events will once again benefit Children’s Wisconsin, a member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, through the Extra Life program. This partnership continues to make a real difference in the lives of children and families in need.
*Although we wish we could provide you with a tax deductible form, Gary Con is not a 501(c) nonprofit organization. As a result, we cannot provide a letter that will qualify you for a tax deduction from your auction purchase. We can provide you with the amount you spent on auction items, but we have no authority or ability to offer any tax advice. In order to determine if there is a way you can claim any deductions for tax purposes, you would need to speak with a tax professional.
