The Destiny fan convention GuardianCon met its lofty charity goal this year, having already raised more than a million dollars for pediatric research before the show officially kicks off.
The two-day convention, running Friday, June 30 through Saturday, July 1 in Tampa, Florida, has raised $1.2 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the week preceding the event. The charity gaming stream was called #LittleLights and concluded today. It hit the target, but campaign organizers are still counting the donations coming in.
The convention itself will officially start tomorrow at the Florida State Fairgrounds. It will include a podcast theater, workshops, panels, PvP tournaments, live music, and artist booths. Passes are $30 for Friday or $50 for both days.
St. Jude is a non-profit pediatric treatment facility known for its research into catastrophic children's diseases.
Bungie has begun winding down Destiny's live competitive events, but GuardianCon attendees and Destiny fans still have much to look forward to this year. Destiny 2 is slated for release in September, with the PC version due in October. You can check out our own hands-on impressions and catch up with all we know about the Destiny 2 sequel.
