The following charity events were held at the 2007 Expo...

 Charity Auction

We had a impressive assortment of pop culture collectibles for our charity auction. 100% of the auction proceeds went towards charity. With a variety of items ranging from costume cards to film cels, the charity was a huge success!

 Celebrity Charity Dinner & Breakfast

Attendees ad the opportunity to dine with the celebrities while supporting the charity of choice for the Fall 2007 Expo, the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation which supports more than 5,000 children each month who are diagnosed with cancer. In 2005 and 2006, we raised over $8,000.00 for the Treasure Chest and are very proud of all our patrons for making that possible! Please consider joining us for the Celebrity dinner or Breakfast or both so that we can meet our goal and break that record this October!


Non-Sport Update Magazine Variant Issue!


We at CECE are excited to announce that attendees at the Fall '07 Expo were able to purchase an October variant issue of Non-Sport Update magazine! This collectors issue was available at the Expo and features a special illustrated Star Wars cover by artist Cynthia Cummens! The magazine also included a special promo card featuring the same beautiful illustration honoring the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. Proceeds from sales of this magazine went to The Treasure Chest Foundation. NSU donated one dollar from each copy sold to The Treasure Chest!

A huge thank you to Non Sport Update magazine and Lucasfilm for making this possible!

September 2006 Charity Events

The September 2006 charity was the Sturge-Weber Foundation. The Sturge-Weber Foundation assists the one million individuals and their families affected by a Port Wine Stain, a pink to dark purple birthmark while facilitating research into the cause of rare diseases like Sturge-Weber and Klippel-Trenaunay. Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare disease consisting of a port wine stain usually around the eye area, glaucoma, and seizures with many individuals having developmental delays. Klippel-Trenaunay affects the limbs and blood flow causing ongoing pain and medical issues. To learn more, please visit www.sturge-weber.com.

We held a Celebrity breakfast and also had an exclusive trading card offer. Federation Toys donated a Luke FX Saber for a special raffle held at the Charity Celebrity Breakfast valued at $120.00. Thank you Jim for your generosity! A portion of all precedes from these events went to the The Sturge-Weber Foundation.

We have raised a substantial amount in the last two years for the charities we have sponsored with your help. Please continue to support these events.
