Castro Valley, CA. con-X-treme organizers announced fund raiser plans for Oakland's Children's Hospital at this year's convention event. Fund raising activities will include an active donation campaign and will be highlighted by a charity auction.
Over $1,000 was raised at last year's fund raising this year. “We're expecting raise more than five times last year's efforts,” Rob Miles, convention chairman explains to donors and supporters. “The auction will be the highlight of the evening's festivities. We anticipate a large number of contributions from the community to support an institution that gives so much to the children in the community.” Numerous members of the convention's board and production team have ties to or are supporters of the hospital, which services a diverse community throughout the Bay Area.
