Daisho Con, Central Wisconsin's biggest Anime Convention, will be holding a unique, one-time-only fundraiser to help for the relief efforts in Haiti. Tune in to our special live broadcast on Friday, February 5th at 7:00 CST, and join in the fun as all your favorite Con personalities show up. Prizes, including commissions, artwork, books and DaishoCon 2010 Pre-registrations will be given away, as well as a few other incentives to get hosts to do funny things, so please help us as we raise funds for Haiti.

To tune into the live show, please go to www.daishocon.com, or go to www.ustream.tv/channel/daishocast to join in the live chat and discussion. A donation button will be placed on the Daisho Con website the day of the broadcast, and links will be added to chat quite often. Let's have a lot of fun, as well as raise some money for people who really need it now.
