Attendees were provided the opportunity to donate a fixed amount of money for a charity in exchange for a T-shirt. ShmooCon also had a long-standing program, Shmooze-A-Student, where attendees could opt to cover an undergraduate college student's ticket fee and stipend when purchasing their own ticket. ==References== ==External links== ShmooCon website ShmooCon "find a room" mailing list
