Coming up in just over 2 weeks, we'll be set up at one of our favorite shows of the year, Twin Tiers Comic Con!

We'll have a large area at the show that will include a killer free play setup, some high score/tournament action (TBA), and a big sale on leftover RGC merch.

We hope to see you there at the Arnot Event Center on Nov. 14-15!

Here's how it all came together:

🔵$13,613 raised through our Extra Life charity raffles and auction, along with the Reaper Miniatures Paint N' Take.

🔵$1,726 raised by the Ghostbusters of CNY through their charity raffle.

🔵$605 raised directly by Extra Life Syracuse at their table.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated items, purchased raffle tickets, participated in our auction, volunteered their time, or contributed in any way. We're incredibly grateful to our partners, volunteers, and attendees who continue to make charitable giving such an important part of RetroGameCon.

We've set an ambitious goal of raising $20,000 for Extra Life in 2026, and we're not stopping until we get there!

Our fundraising efforts continue at THANKSGAMING on Sunday, November 22, at Willow Rock Brewing Company in Cicero, NY. Help us make a real difference for local kids and families right here in Central New York!
