We’re excited to announce that we are partnering with Random Acts to raise money towards COVID-19 relief for Festival and Beyond! We will be asking for donations during the festival for those who are able to via GoFundMe, with all proceeds going directly to Random Acts, specifically to benefit those affected by COVID-19. All donations go straight to Random Acts – Nerds and Beyond does not touch anything.

The GoFundMe is currently open, and you can donate here.

With that, we’re also excited to announce Rachel Miner as a guest during the festival. Rachel serves as Executive Director to Random Acts, and we’re so excited to have her on board.

Join us Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th, for “a free virtual celebration for fans by fans!” Festival and Beyond is a collaborative effort from all fandoms to showcase all different talents and give everyone a platform. This festival will showcase numerous artists, vendors, actors and photographers to help boost morale and bring back a sense of connection in these difficult times. The festival is completely free and will be live-streamed directly onto Nerds and Beyond’s Youtube page, http://www.youtube.com/nerdsandbeyond.
