Message from the first "Con Mom"
Hello. My name is Colleen and I am the founder of Con Moms. I love going to comic book and video game conventions. I was dubbed the "con mom" in my group of friends very early on as I naturally take care of those around me. I always made sure that everyone was able to have a good time. Whether that was carrying merch in my backpack, dishing out the hand sanitizer after playing a demo, or pinning a costume that popped while walking around, my friends always found me for help while we were out and about.
​
After a few years of doing this, I started to think, "maybe this is something other people need as well. Someone at conventions that can make sure people have a good time by taking care of the little things that people might not remember to bring with them." I had run booths at conventions before for my little crochet Etsy store and I loved every second of it. And so, Con Moms was born.
Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.
OUR BOOTH
The Con Mom booth is designed to be a one stop shop for everything a person needs to enjoy a con. Hand sanitiser? We have you covered. Tissues? Got it. Hair ties? Safety pins? Reminders about how wonderful you are? Yes. Yes. And yes.
We also sell merch and crocheted stuffed toys and apparel to help fund future booths. All money we earn beyond what we need is donated at the end of every year.
MOBILE MOMS
A new edition to our line up is the "Mobile Con Moms Unit". These volunteers can be seen at cons around the country and are there to provide the essentials provided by the booth.
