Posted on by
Gen Con

Gen Con, North America’s largest and longest-running tabletop gaming convention, has selected Super Heroines, Etc., and Indy-based Immigrant Welcome Center as its official 2026 charity partners. Since establishing Indianapolis as “The Home of The Best Four Days in Gaming” in 2003, the annual tabletop gaming convention has raised nearly half a million dollars for charity.

As part of this partnership, both organizations will receive proceeds from Gen Con’s 2026 fundraising efforts, including longstanding charity events such as the popular Cardhalla, a mass destruction of giant playing card structures, and the board game auction, where highly desirable items donated by exhibitors and collectors will be put up for bid. Both groups will receive promotional marketing and exhibiting space at the convention to connect with attendees and share information about their work.

Gen Con 2026 will run July 30- August 2 in the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, and surrounding downtown hotels. 4-Day and single-day badges are available for purchase at gencon.com. The convention will continue to offer thousands of ticketed in-person events and a sold-out Exhibit Hall. Also returning are fan-favorite experiences, including the Makers Market featuring local Indy artisans and creators, the annual Costume Contest, the Gen Con Film Festival, the outdoor Block Party featuring the Sun King Beer Garden, dozens of food trucks, and live entertainment.

DC and Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines Launch a Yearlong Partnership

Posted on by
Guide Dogs of America

Super Heroes unite! DC joins forces with the Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines (GDA|TLC) to transform lives for those who are blind or visually impaired, along with veterans with PTSD or TBI, children with autism, and facility dogs for public institutions, through expertly trained service dogs. After last year’s San Diego Comic-Con collaboration captured the hearts of fans, DC and GDA|TLC are now launching a yearlong partnership, including an adorable, DC-sponsored litter of future guide and service dog superheroes.

 GDA|TLC has allowed this DC-sponsored litter to be named after iconic DC characters. Introducing Krypto, Clark, Lois, Kara, and Lobo.

  • Krypto: Krypto the Superdog is where good dogs and great superheroes intersect.
  • Clark Kent: Clark is the mild-mannered secret identity of Superman, an alien from the planet Krypton. He’s known for his strong morals, kind heart, and dedication to using his superhuman abilities for good.
  • Lois Lane: Lois Lane is a tenacious journalist, known for her sharp intellect, strong will, and relentless pursuit of truth, often putting herself in danger to get a story.
  • Kara Zor-El: Also known as Supergirl, Kara possesses all of Superman’s powers—from superhuman strength, speed, and invulnerability all the way down to his flight and enhanced senses—but is still learning to control these awesome abilities.
  • Lobo: This intergalactic alien badass is known as the best bounty hunter in the universe. He has fought on the side of both the good guys and the bad, pretty much just drifting toward whoever pays him the most to get the job done.

After graduating from puppy prekindergarten training, these future service‑dog heroes will embark on an inspiring journey to become trusted canine partners who bring confidence, mobility, and independence to people in need, moving from the GDA|TLC campus into the homes of skilled volunteer puppy-raisers who continue to transform these golden-labrador crosses into loyal companions with their own versions of superpowers.

DC fans can follow the DC pups at DC.com/pups as their training unfolds throughout the year, as the collaboration with Guide Dogs of America will deliver a series of co-branded events, media moments, and storytelling activations, celebrating impact, community, and heroism. Fans will also be able to join the fun and follow along through social activations throughout the year and even meet the puppies in person at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
