Charity

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

A charity can be designated by a convention as its official charitable organization. For furry and anthopomorphic organizations, such charities usually support the welfare of wildlife or domesticated animals.

Some conventions may retain an official charity for an extended period of time while others may rotate their designated charity each year.

[edit] Charity auction

A charity auction is now held at most furry conventions. The convention auctions off donated items from the attendees at the convention with the proceeds going to a single or group of designated charities. At larger conventions, the total amount raised in a charity auction can approach or exceed $10,000.
