 In a word, no.
When we set out to run the Cascade Convention we certainly
aimed to run the best Sentinel convention ever, and give our guests and
attendees a weekend they won't forget. But we were also planning to do
something for charity.
Both Richard Burgi and Garett Maggart have particular
initiatives they support, groups which the fan community have likewise
supported in their name through online auctions and other activities
designed to raise money for these charities.
As the Official Richard Burgi Fan Club site states:
Richard's interest in birds and commitment to preserving the
environment for future generations, along with his preference for "grass
roots" work, led him to the Orange County Bird of Prey Center, an El Toro,
CA - based, volunteer-run organization which tends to the needs of injured
or orphaned raptors (birds of prey). A similar passion and devotion to the
sea and the marine mammals common to the waters of his California home led
Richard to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, a Laguna Beach, CA - based,
volunteer-run and funded organization which tends to the needs of sick or
injured seals and sea lions.
 Like Richard, Garett also supports an organization which cares for our
injured fauna: the
Moonridge Animal Park at Big Bear, California. Moonridge
is primarily a zoological facility, but is also a licensed, designated care
and rehabilitation facility for injured or confiscated animals.
The Cascade Convention group is delighted to lend our
support to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center and Moonridge Animal Park.
