FurnandoCon 2012 - by Revit
Moments like this make me love the furry fandom. This is Samuel Conway (AKA Uncle Kage), the Chairman and CEO of Anthrocon (The worlds biggest furcon) delivering a check to a man named Fernando.
The story behind this goes:
If you’ve ever been to Anthrocon, you’ve most likely been to Fernando’s, a local restaurant in Pittsburgh, and the first business to embrace the furries. Well, This year because of debt, he was going to have to shut down the restaurant. The fandom just couldn’t accept that though. Uncle Kage sent out a video and donation link, with the goal of raising $4,000, just enough to help keep the eatery afloat until the con. The furries met that goal.
They raised $21,000.
This isn’t even the first time furries have made people cry from donations.
