Love is Love at MegaCon Florida (Fundraising Event to support Equality Florida)

The Hangin With Web Show is proud to be a part of a diverse artistic community. The tragic shooting at the pulse nightclub in Orlando has affected us all in varying ways, and it is an imperative that the arts and entertainment community stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT community, as we are all one human community and one humanity. That is why we are proud to announce that MegaCon Orlando has joined with the central Florida community to host "Love Is Love"

MegaCon is proud to host a weekend of Love is Love programming. The proceeds will benefit Equality Florida, Florida’s civil rights leader working for the LGBT community.

Following the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, a project in the comic community named Love is Love began to take shape. A group of more than 300 comic book creators contributed to the creation of a comic anthology, the proceeds from which were donated to the victims, the survivors and their families via Equality FL. The events at MegaCon Orlando will be continuing in this spirit, honoring the 49 lives lost by donating all proceeds to Equality Florida, Florida’s largest civil rights organization.
This is your opportunity to meet some amazing comic creators and bid on their work while supporting an incredible cause.

ONEDAY CHARITY EVENT AIMS TO RAISE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR ONE ORLANDO FUND

The Hangin With Web Show Scheduled to Cover Charity Event by the creators of Heroes & Villians Fan Fest & Walker Stalker Con     

     ORLANDO, FL -- On September 17, 2016, fans of TV’s top shows will have the opportunity

to meet their favorite stars at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, while

raising money for the victims and families of the Pulse Nightclub attack.

     Dozens of well-known actors from The Walking Dead, The Flash, Arrow, and other shows will

meet fans, sign autographs and take photos ( see full list ). Most importantly, 100% of the profits

raised from ticket sales, autographs, professional photo ops, and vendor sales will be donated

to the One Orlando Fund.

     James Frazier, who created and runs the popular Heroes & Villains Fan Fest and Walker

Stalker Con events, is an Orlando native, as are several others on his team.

     “I grew up in Orlando, graduated from high school there, got married there, and had four of my

children there,” said Frazier. “Last week, my heart was broken by a senseless tragedy. I

wondered, what can we do? How can we help? This September, we're inviting our community of

fans to come help us raise as much money as we can for the families that were impacted.”

     "From our actors and photograph vendor to our volunteers and the Orange County Convention

Center, everyone involved has stepped up to make Fan Fest Orlando possible. Our hometown

needs us. We've always supported each other, regardless of race, orientation, or creed, and this

makes that more clear,” said Jackie Prutsman, Orlando native and VP of Fan Fest.

     At this very special one day Orlando event, attendees will be treated to a merging of activities

regularly held at separate events, Heroes & Villains Fan Fest and Walker Stalker Con. This

means that stars from a wide range of television shows and movies will be in attendance

interacting with fans, and attendees can participate in an array of interactive experiences. More

than 500,000 people attend these Fan Fest events annually.

Activities in Orlando include:

     ● Free panel sessions led by the stars of some of the TV’s most popular shows.

     ● Action heroes and cosplayers roam the convention floor, making for interactive

experiences attendees will never forget.

     ● Vendors who deal in the comic, entertainment, zombie and other genres and industries.

There are even a number of opportunities to volunteer at the event, which can be found on the
