Another goal of Daycon Clarksville is to raise much-needed funding for the Cats Are Us (And Dogs Too) animal shelter. Every year a portion of Daycon’s ticket sales are donated to the shelter. In addition, the Cats Are Us Charity Raffle gives the convention attendees a chance to win prizes, with all money from the raffle directly donated to the shelter.
