  • To host a dedicated convention for fans of Legends to gather and celebrate the books, comics and games that we love.

How is Legends Con funded?

We will not be making a profit off of this convention, and all event proceeds will go to  The Peter Mayhew Foundation. 

Like most conventions, the primary source of income for LegendsCon is from ticket sales and the sale of booth space in our exhibit hall. We also rely on crowdfunding donations to be able to bring you an event that is truly legendary! Currently you can support us on Ko-Fi.

Any business sponsorship must come from official Star Wars licensees or promotional partners. If that describes your business and you would like to partner with us, please email us at LegendsConsortium@gmail.com! If your business is not an official Star Wars licensee/partner, we would still greatly value your donations but unfortunately we cannot have you as an official sponsor.

Our organization is not legally a nonprofit, so donations will not be tax deductible.
