We are so excited to finally share our Convention Care Kits with you!! These little bundles of joy were made possible thanks to an amazing grant by Chadwick Martin Bailey, a Boston based Market Research and Consulting Company, and the incredible support of our volunteers (special shoutout to Amy!) and community partners Vibrant Emotional Health and Cookie Brigade. Inside, you’ll find self-care goodies to keep your body and mind energized all weekend long. Whether you’re geeking out at panels, cosplaying your heart out, or just soaking it all in, these kits are here to keep you feeling good.
We’re hand-crafting 250 of these care kits to give away at PAXEast 2025. Each kit includes:
- A reusable cloth drawstring bag
- A flat water bottle with carabiner
- A pack of tissues
- A pair of earplugs
- A mini-bottle of hand sanitizer
- A textured square-breathing sticker provided by Vibrant Emotional Health
But we’re not stopping there—we’re leveling up! We’ve got a few more items in mind that would take these care kits from awesome to absolutely next-level. Think lip balm, wet wipes, and other thoughtful extras to make sure everyone feels truly cared for. That’s where you come in! We’ve put together a wishlist on Throne with these final touches, and if you’d like to help us make these kits even better, we’d be so grateful for your support. Every little contribution goes a long way—check out our Throne and help us spread the care even further! The wishlist will close May 5 to ensure all items arrive on time.
See you at PAX East!
P.S. Mental health month is upon us. The Take This Resources page offers dozens of links to emergency and non-emergency mental health resources as well as tools for finding hotlines, warm-lines, and mental health support. We also recommend this resource on how to talk about mental health, written by our friends at Vibrant Emotional Health.
