Funny Heartwarming Tale

 

• Fernando's, a restaurant in Pittsburgh with a long history of treating furries at Anthrocon well was experiencing serious financial trouble. The organisers of Anthrocon and, indeed, the fandom in general decided that they couldn't bear the thought of an Anthrocon without Fernando's. Fernando himself said he required about $4,000 to stay in business. The fandom raised over $21,000 in donations, and Uncle Kage himself presented it to Fernando at an event held at the restaurant in April 2012.
