Fan Fest Northwest was Yakima's local comic convention that happened on October 11th.
It brought fandoms from Star Wars to Star Trek. From Anime to K-Pop. From video games to table-top games and so much more all together to the Yakima Convention Center to celebrate all fandoms and, best of all, all for a great cause.
This event was put together by Rod's House , a local nonprofit helping teens and young adults who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless get the help they need to point them in the right direction of life.
$25,000!
Fan Fest Northwest raised $25,000. That money stays right here in our community as well.
This couldn't be done without the help of the wonderful sponsors Gesa Credit Union, South Central Workforce, Yakima Valley Community Foundation, Inatai Foundation,
