WonderCon@Home SuperVolunteer Challenge
Last year, we issued a call-to-action among our crew of volunteers asking them to choose an organization in their area and sign up to help out for a day, a week, or whatever worked for that organization. It was such a huge hit (and made us so proud!) that we projected the Bat-Signal for WonderCon@Home 2021! By emailing us a photo or two and a little bit about their experience, they earned a "SuperVolunteer" badge! These volunteers are highlighted in a Toucan blog series leading up to WonderCon@Home.
We are so proud of their efforts and we know that WonderCon volunteers are truly committed to making the world a better place. This page features a gallery of all the volunteers who earned their SuperVolunteer badge for the WonderCon@Home edition of the SuperVolunteer Challenge!
Many of our SuperVolunteers are helping with Pandemic-related issues, especially at vaccination sites. We are grateful for all that they do:

Not only are these SuperVolunteers helping to save the lives of animals, the cuteness factor is fabulous!

Well, Carolyn, Gene and Hunter F. might argue that the dogs and puppies THEY have fostered over the last 20 years from various shelters are the cutest.
We've even had visitors from a galaxy far, far away come to volunteer and help people on Earth:

Brendan P. reported that members of the San Diego Star Wars Society came to help at the Miracle Babies drive-through event where they passed out free health, hygiene, PPE, and nutritional supplies for free to families in need.
