Watch to learn more about the positive impact Semper Fi & America’s Fund has had on the veteran community.

Semper Fi & America’s Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping veterans in all branches of the military, directs urgently needed resources and financial support to critically wounded, ill, and injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces alongside their families.

How can you help?

You can join METALCON’s efforts to raise funds by donating TODAY or on-site at the show. A donation of any amount will enter you in a daily raffle for a chance to win a full access pass to next year’s METALCON 2024 in Atlanta, along with other unique prizes! (Small print — you must be present to win raffle prizes).

While at the show, join us for a special check presentation with members of the organization on Thursday, October 19th @ 3:30 PM at The METALCON Deck located on the show floor.

History of METALCON Giving Back

METALCON has been “giving back” since 1995 to national and local charities, proudly having donated upwards of half a million dollars in goods, services, and/or funds to non-profit organizations and worthy causes serving local host communities. When METALCON was last in Las Vegas in 2017, the metal construction community generously came together to raise $4,000 for Semper Fi & America’s Fund. We hope you’ll join us again this year in giving back to the Las Vegas community to show our appreciation for the many years of being an excellent host to the show.
