Raising Awareness for Mental Health.

What is Mental Con?

Mental Con is an Annual Charitable Fundraiser created by Jake McManus and Nathan Brabon in 2023 to help raise awareness around Mental Health in the collecting community. Each year in June we put on a livestream  event raising funds for different charities that make a huge impact on the community they serve.

The annual fundraiser sees artists from all walks of life from around the globe contribute artwork from various genres from Marvel, DC, cartoon, real life, and so much more. Those pieces are then auctioned off to raise funds along with cash donations for that years given charity. In the first three years of Mental Con we have been able to raise over $60,000 for the various charities. Helping make a huge impact on communities, families, and children alike.

Along with the fantastic art there are great conversations and segments from collecting community members and content creators all taking part in the fundraiser. We hope that with your help we can continue to grow the Mental Con Charitable Fundraiser and bring more conversations about Mental Health Wellness in collecting.
