While we know almost everyone would like a chance to ask Mr. Cullen a question during his panel, we have a limited time frame to deal with. As such TFcon will be taking question submissions for the Peter Cullen Q&A until Wednesday July 15th. Please email your questions to tfcontoronto@gmail.com with the subject Peter Cullen Q&A along with your full name. If your question is chosen you will have the opportunity to ask your question live to Mr. Cullen during his panel.

We are happy to welcome back IDW Publishing colorist Josh Perez to TFcon Toronto 2015. Transformers fans will recognize his work from the pages of IDW’s, Transformers: Robots in Disguise and More Than Meets The Eye books. He will be in attendance all weekend and offering prints and commissions to the attendees.

TFcon is very proud to announce that our 2015 charity auction was able to raise $10417.40 for Make-A-Wish® Canada. We are very proud of everyone in our community that contributed to make this amazing feat happen.

Make-A-Wish® Canada creates magical moments for children between the ages of 3 and 17, living with life threatening medical conditions, through granting a child’s one true wish. Make-A-Wish® strives to create hope, strength and joy by giving a child a much needed respite from being sick, allowing them to experience the wholesome enjoyment of just being a “kid” again.

Because the entire family experiences the diagnoses, treatment and day-to-day challenges of caring for a child with an illness, the entire family is included in the wish experience. Make-A-Wish® likes to make sure their families do not have to lift a finger or spend a dime. So if you think of the cost of sending a family of 4 to Disney for a week from the car that picks them up to park activities, souvenirs as well as food and medical insurance the average cost of a wish is $10,000. So that means, because of the TFcon Toronto 2015 charity auction a child will have their wish come true!
