Charity Auctions
Fandom has a history of giving. At Balticon, you will have opportunities to contribute to several causes.
BSFS also maintains a Little Free Library in front of its building in East Baltimore. Books for Kids money is used to purchase books to be distributed through the LFL. Over 900 books have been distributed this year.
BSFS Books for Kids raises money at Balticon in several ways.
BSFS Books for Kids
Balticon holds two auctions to raise money for the BSFS Books for Kids program:
Saturday evening during the Masquerade intermission
and Sunday afternoon after the Art Auction.
Funds raised will be used to purchase books for students to keep on their own. BSFS Books for Kids also collects book donations for local school libraries. Items for the auction are donated by individuals and companies and generally have a Science Fiction or Fantasy theme.
To donate items for the auction, contact booksforkids@balticon.org.
