This year, RetroGameCon dedicates our charity efforts to the memories of our friends Ari and Donna, and to their families and friends. May our contributions reflect the same kindness that they shared with us.

A massive thank you to our staff, attendees, vendors, partners, and friends for making this good deed possible. Your generosity continues to show how powerful our RGC community can be when we come together. 💪

🎮 $900 - Raised by the Extra Life Syracuse team at their table last weekend
🌈 $240 - Raised for The Trevor Project from a donated item by Nococon to our charity auction

Here’s how it all adds up:
🎟️ $14,559 - Raised through our charity raffles, Paint ‘n’ Take event, and charity auction for Extra Life
👻 $1,761 - Raised by the Ghostbusters of Central New York at the con for UGCH’s Holiday Toy Drive
