On December 16, Echo Base Charity Con 2017 took place at Kinepolis Jaarbeurs Utrecht. The only 100% Star Wars convention in the Netherlands was fully sold out with over 1,200 visitors attending and supported Star Wars: Force for Change benefiting Unicef Nederland.
Thanks to Star Wars fans from all over Europe and partners such as The Walt Disney Company Netherlands, Lucasfilm, Kinepolis Nederland, Hasbro, LEGO, IXXI, Philips, Triple P Entertainment and Catawiki the event raised an incredible 10.604 euro, that will be donated in full to a special project benefiting children in Africa: www.unicef.nl/projecten/het-enige-kinderziekenhuis.
We would like to thank everybody who made it possible to raise this amount for charity and we would look forward to seeing you again at the next edition of Echo Base Con in december 2019 !
