HeroCon wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born from heartbreak.

Three years ago, a young comic-loving boy mentored by the founder of The Bettered Men Foundation entered foster care. That moment sparked a mission to deliver hope through signed comic books filled with messages of courage from the Dallas-Fort Worth community.

What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a movement. Each year, the foundation uses superhero stories and mental health education to reach at-risk youth, opening powerful conversations and building emotional resilience.

Now, in 2026, HeroCon takes its biggest leap yet: our first-ever conference. A celebration of art, media, and healing designed to inspire thousands.

We need your help to make it happen. Your sponsorship is the heroic support that turns this dream into life-changing reality.
