Very well done! Must bookmark that page for future reference. Sooner or later someone at work is going to find out about my love for Gargoyles and other fandoms (the fridge magnets I decorated one drawer in my cubicle with are kind of a clue, y'know), and when I hear that inevitable "get a life", I'll just write down the webpage URL and tell them to get a clue.
Wish I'd been online when you were asking for input; the Beauty and the Beast fandom used to be very active in charities, and every con had a charity auction and sometimes a food drive too. I couldn't give specifics, because it's now been a full decade since my last B&B con, but I know some folks who could have. Oh well, the point is still made for fandom in general!
And I've never been active in that fandom at all, so I wouldn't know. If you do find a link or something, you can drop it in the comments. The more publicity for the fannish charities the better!
Thanks for sharing that link; I found it through a link from one of your f-list members' pages. I only wish the author had mentioned the annual "Bend Over Greek Sailor" collection Clam Chowder holds for DC's Children's Hospital every Thanksgiving weekend during the Darkover Grand Council convention. The past decade or so, they've enjoyed making administrators' jaws drop with the record amounts they collect (matched by the employer of the husband of one of the band's members dollar-for-dollar). More here.
