Fandoms often celebrate connection and creativity, but they’re also a powerful force for giving back. Events like charity auctions allow fans to make a real difference while sharing their love for geek culture. At ConCarolinas, this tradition of kindness takes center stage. Over the years, the convention has supported various causes, combining the spirit of community with the joy of giving.

This year, ConCarolinas is hosting its Annual Charity Auction in support of Time Out Youth, an organization that has helped tens of thousands of young people since 1991 on their journeys of self-discovery. By valuing and uplifting the voices of area youth, Time Out Youth provides critical resources and support to meet the unique challenges they face.

Want to get involved? Whether you’re a fan donating a collectible, a dealer offering goods, or simply an attendee ready to bid, your participation helps make a difference. Join us and be part of this meaningful cause. Together, let’s show how the power of fandom can create lasting change.

ConCarolinas believes in assisting those in need and over the years. This year, our annual Charity Auction will raise funds for Time Out Youth. We will ask for donations from the dealers in our dealer room and we will gladly accept any donations from the community for items to be auctioned off during our Charity Auction.

Since 1991, Time Out Youth has served tens of thousands of area youth, in their journey toward self-discovery. Above all, we value the voice of the youth we serve and commit to adapting to the unique and changing challenges they face each day.
