ZOMBICON is produced by Pushing Daizies Inc., a non profit organization which uses artistic means in order to benefit the local community and make charitable contributions to local and state organizations. Since 2008, we have collected non-perishable canned food donations for our local Harry Chapin Food Bank. On October 17th, 2009 we set a local record for the most food collected at a single nighttime event, with nearly half a ton of food. For the past 4 years we have worked together with The Lee Memorial Blood Center. By using our promotions to draw attention to their needs, and by providing them with opportunities to bring the Blood Mobile to our events, we have enabled them to collect significant donations of blood. We have worked together with The ArtHouse Foundation Inc., whose mission is to support local artists, and have raised funds for them as well. Perhaps our greatest contribution is through inspiring our local community to express itself creatively. For five consecutive years we have given local artists the opportunity to exhibit their work, sometimes alongside internationally recognized artists, in our annual “Dark Art Show“. At ZOMBICON, attendees participate in a unique brand of improvisational street theater, as they are inspired to create make-up, costumes and transform themselves into their own personal performance piece. |
