Celebrate the Season of Giving
Join the first stop of the K-Pop Charity Tour for a day dedicated to supporting a meaningful cause while celebrating your favorite K-Pop groups and artists. Organized by HWAITING! Midwest, this pop-up event combines the vibrant energy of the fandom with a mission to give back to the community. Attendees can enjoy a variety of activities, shop from local vendors, and connect with other fans in a welcoming, spring-themed atmosphere.
Supporting the MICA Project
This event serves as a charity drive for the Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project). Founded in 2011 by law students Nicole Cortés and Jessica Mayo, the MICA Project provides essential low-cost immigration legal services and uses community outreach to promote the voice and dignity of immigrant communities. You can support their work by donating directly at the event or by purchasing raffle tickets. Every cent earned from raffle ticket sales will be donated directly to the MICA Project.
Creative Fun at the Deco Station
Express your creativity at the event's dedicated Deco Station. For $6, you will receive two toploaders and access to an unlimited supply of various sticker sheets to decorate your favorite photo cards. Please be mindful that these are available in limited supply. To ensure everyone has a chance to participate, guests are asked to be respectful and courteous to others while utilizing the station.
