Ohayocon

The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE! ❤️

Amazing halftime show with Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin. The message Bad Bunny shared choosing unity and love over hate is something Ohayocon stands behind. Love always win.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our food drive! Together, Ohayocon raised 98 pounds of food for The Foodbank of Dayton.

A special thank you to The Foodbank of Dayton for joining us at the convention, speaking with our attendees, and sharing the important work you do in the community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support such a meaningful cause. Next year, we hope to double the number of pounds we donate!

We’re incredibly grateful to Ohayocon for welcoming us into their amazing event—hosting a food drive and giving our team space to raise awareness and share resources.

If you have an upcoming event in the Dayton area and are interested in partnering to give the community an easy way to give back, we’d love to connect!

Unfortunately, Emi Lo will no longer be able to attend Ohayocon due to illness. While we’re incredibly sad to miss her this year, we completely understand that health comes first. Emi was looking forward to being at Ohayocon, and we send her all our well wishes for a speedy recovery. We sincerely hope to welcome her back next year.

Additionally, Chicken Nugget has also had to cancel due to illness. We wish them a quick and smooth recovery and appreciate everyone’s understanding.

Thank you all for your kindness and support, and please join us in sending positive thoughts their way
