Los Angeles, CA – January 22, 2025 – At a time when recovery and rebuilding efforts following the devastating 2025 wildfires are estimated to cost tens of billions of dollars, Hollywood is uniting for a day-long celebration of community. MultiCon will serve as a Los Angeles Wildfire Benefit for the United Way of Greater Los Angeles and will take place on February 22, 2025, at The Preserve LA, bringing together fandoms, celebrities, content creators, and fans to raise vital funds for the recovery of Los Angeles. At this pivotal moment, MultiCon offers fans a chance to use their collective energy and passion for a greater cause—helping to rebuild the city we love.

The first batch of celebrities donating their time is Kevin Smith (Clerks), David Dastmalchian (Late Night With The Devil), Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken), Rob Liefeld (Creator Deadpool, Cable X-Force and More), Jackie Tohn (Nobody Wants This, Glow), Daniel Logan (Star Wars), Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man in Playstation/ Marvel’s Spider-Man games, Naruto), Tara Platt (Naruto, League of Legends), Isaac Robinson Smith (X-Men ‘97), Monique Coleman (High School Musical), and Kaycee Stroh (High School Musical), with more to be announced.

Throughout the day, attendees can attend exclusive panels with celebrity talent in never-before-seen pairings hosted by some of your favorite media personalities, including Greg Alba (Reel Rejects), Coy Jandreau (DC Official Podcast/Reel Rejects), Perri Nemiroff (Collider), Katcy Stephan (Variety), Juju Green aka Straw Hat Goofy, Erik “DoA” Lonnquist, Ben Watts (IGN) who have graciously volunteered their services.

The event will be capped with a Nerd Dance Party hosted by Dimi with special guest performances and fun surprises. Concurrent live streams on Twitch and YouTube will be available to virtual attendees worldwide.

“Everyone knows someone whose life was turned upside down from the wildfires. We have planned this event with Multihouse to not only raise funds to help those in need but to also provide an opportunity for people to start the healing process. The Preserve LA with its 6,500 plants and trees seemed to be the perfect place where we can all come together to start the healing process,” said Larry Bond, Chairman of Bond Companies and the developer of The Preserve LA.

“Los Angeles is the greatest city in the world, and our resilience knows no bounds. As we recover and rebuild, we will do so through the power of community, imagination, and storytelling. MultiCon unites the best of Hollywood and is a reminder that we’re more than just an industry; we’re a community of working-class dreamers and doers who care for one another and will roll up their sleeves when our neighbors need help.” said Michael Tessler, CEO of Multihouse and the event’s producer.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to partner with Bond Companies and Multihouse for this event. Now more than ever, our work at United Way of Greater Los Angeles is critical - this recovery will take years, but we want our community to know we’ll be with them every step of the way,” said Elise Buik, CEO of United Way of Greater Los Angeles.  

General admission tickets for the event will start at $35 and VIP tickets at $100. All are sold through our sponsor ticket vendor Seetickets.com, the premiere LA-based ticketing agency, beginning NOW!

SAN DIEGO (Jan. 22, 2025) – It’s time for Whovians to dust off their sonic screwdrivers because San Diego’s Comic-Con Museum, located inside historic Balboa Park, has announced that tickets for the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of the Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction exhibit are on sale now. Tickets allow guests to explore the entire museum—and for Doctor Who fans of all generations to be the first to see this exhibit in the U.S., which opens March 15, 2025—and can be purchased at comic-con.org/museum.
 
The exhibit features an extensive array of original props and sets, and a unique collection of behind-the-scenes resource materials from the world’s longest-running science fiction show. This multi-sensory exhibit invites visitors to experience the Doctor’s adventures, come face to face with a selection of iconic characters, and explore some of the worlds visited on screen, all while learning about the real-life science behind the show’s memorable moments. A wealth of scientific “wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey” topics like the concept of time travel, artificial intelligence, DNA manipulation, and cloning can be explored throughout the exhibit.
 
"We are delighted to be working with BBC Studios and Sarner International to bring this fascinating exhibition that merges the worlds of science, fiction, and the popular arts through such a celebrated show,” said Comic-Con Museum Executive Director Rita Vandergaw. “This is the first time it will ever be shown in the country, and we can't wait for fans to experience it!”
 
Stephen Davies, SVP, Global Licensing for BBC Studios added, “We look forward to fans discovering the science that underpinned the creation of some of their favorite TV moments, and we’re delighted to share the Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder exhibition with Whovians in the U.S., in the iconic venue that is Comic-Con Museum.”
 
Highlights of the exhibit include:

• A Time Vortex Corridor and TARDIS Tech Room where visitors can examine the technological capabilities of the Doctor’s gadgets and gizmos, including a collection of authentic sonic screwdrivers
• The Monster Vault that houses the Doctor’s most terrifying alien adversaries, including the Cybermen and the Weeping Angels (Plus a simulator that allows visitors to change their voice to sound like a Dalek!)
• Exclusive Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder merchandise, exclusive to Comic-Con Museum

Tickets can be purchased at comic-con.org/museum or at the door, and include admission to the entire Museum. Comic-Con Museum is open Thursday through Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the last entry at 4 p.m. Closed on Wednesday.
