Local non-profit group (and comic fans) Harbour Con-fusion is holding an emergency fundraiser Monday for the Saint John SPCA.
President of Con-Fusion Margaret Cornfield tells CHSJ news over 400 people -- and superheroes -- will be meeting at the Admiral Beatty Parking Lot on the corner of Princess and Charlotte at 10am to start collecting donations and bottles to prevent a closure of the non-profit animal shelter.
She says the SPCA has always been their charity of choice, and when they heard they were in danger of closing they quickly "mobilized their geek force" to spread the word and take action.
Cornfield says all are welcome to help give donations or volunteer.
The SPCA say if they don't raise a million dollars this week, they'll be closing their doors on Saturday, leaving 14 people without a job and animals to be euthanized. For more information click here.
