Blog | Zenkaikon, A Philadelphia Area Anime Convention

A few days ago, we posted about Zenkaikon’s efforts to support the Japan Relief Effort through collecting donations at our Merchandise table and at many of the con’s major events. Since that time, we’ve not only received great support from our attendees, but also heard from many of our Artist Alley residents who want to help as well. Below is a list of artists who have committed to donating proceeds from their sales of all or specific items to the relief effort. This list may or may not be complete.

• Cernak Arts – Donating all sales of 4×6 print photos of Japan to the Relief Efforts.
• Clockwerk Fascinations – Donating 10% of all sales to the Relief Efforts.
• Fluffy Laser Balls – Selling products with Shiba Inus on them, with all money made from the sales of these items donated to the Japanese Relief Fund.
• Friday Knights – Donating $1 from every sale to Zenkaikon’s collection for the Relief Fund. They will also be offering “heart assessments” (find out if you are a Time Lord!) for any amount donated to the fund at their  table.
• Geeks Next Door – Bishounen Benefit – $.75 out of every dollar spent on pretty boy prints and related merchandise will be going to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake Relief Fund.
