"The Ty-We Collector's Expo is more than your ordinary collector's show or swap meet. This show is named after, and in honor of, Tyler Weibling, a young man in our community that was recently diagnosed with a rare form of childhood bone cancer known as osteosarcoma. Since his diagnosis on June 13, Tyler has undergone chemotherapy, several surgeries, and a full leg amputation. Tyler's type of cancer cannot be killed, only slowed, and recurrence happens in about one of three kids. Despite all of this, Tyler has remained in good spirits, and looks forward to his visits to Apex Comics where he enjoys all things Batman!
ALL PROCEEDS from vendor booths, ticket sales, and the silent auction bids will go to benefit Tyler and his amazing family."
It was an incredible honor to be part of this event. Apex comics approached me to create the branding for the Expo, generate social media content (including boosting ads), and help rally awesome vendors to come sell. With over forty vendors, approximately 300 attendees, and all the money we raised with donations to the silent auction, we were able to raise over $5,500 for the family with this one-day event!
