This year BayCon's charity is the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation! Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. There will be several events throughout the weekend giving attendees various opportunities to support our charity. On Friday we will be having a Charity Casino following the Meet the Guests reception, followed by two Charity Auctions on Saturday and Sunday (time and place TBD).
