Not to mention all the other money that furries generate that go to charity:

AND AND AND! Look how happy that kid is petting the soft, big puppy! You can raise all the money in the world, but that kid will NEVER forget being able to pet the big puppy. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why I stay a furry, despite all the negative connotations of the group. And yes, that money for charity, it’s amazing stuff.

Thought it was interesting to reblog all these listed charities. I was wondering which specific ones conventions had donated to.
