CHARITY
Now in it’s fifth year, the Setsucon Silent Auction has been dedicated to the life and memory of voice actor, previous Setsucon guest, and Pennsylvania native, Billy Kametz. In 2022, Billy Kametz lost his battle with colon cancer. In return, we memorialize his life by supporting the Colon Cancer Coalition, in hopes that one day this disease will be prevented. Until then, we will continue our fight to fund awareness of this disease, and support the fight for treatments and services.
Support our Silent Auction by stopping by the Exhibitors Hall during convention to bid on items graciously donated by our partners. 100% of bids go to the Colon Cancer Coalition. You can also support the Colon Cancer Coalition by donating direction at https://coloncancercoalition.org/.
Setsucon is proud to support local State College, PA charity, The Jared Box Project, which has delivered smiles, laughter, and hope to children in hospitals across the country. Donate your gifts, toys, games, and activities to help create a box to give to children in hospitals to provide a special, fun treat. Stop by the Exhibitors Hall during the convention weekend to drop off your unwrapped gifts. See below for gift suggestions.
