Hello,
I am writing with an update on Sweet Sadie Con 2026 and a new invitation I hope you will consider.
Despite our best efforts, we were not able to secure the sponsorships we needed to hold the event in person, so we will no longer be able to bring talent in for it as originally planned. I am sorry to share that news, and I am happy to talk through the reasons in more detail if you would like.
Rather than cancel altogether, we are reimagining the event online — and I would love for you to be part of it. We will host Stars for Sadie, a live fundraiser on YouTube where each guest joins us for a scheduled time, one after another, throughout the event.
Here is how it will work:
Your live segment: you will join the YouTube live for a set amount of time to sign items for fans and answer their questions before the next guest comes on.
Signed items for fans: fans can pay to have you sign an item, such as an 8x10, or whatever you have available.
Personal video messages: we would also like to offer fans a short video message from you, similar to a Cameo, for an additional contribution.
Between guests: we will keep the energy up with raffles and other fun segments, with all raffle proceeds going to the cause as well.
Every dollar raised will go to Sweet Sadie's Difference Makers, the nonprofit I founded and serve as President of.
Sweet Sadie's Difference Makers was created in honor of my sister, Sarah, who passed away in 2020 from muscular dystrophy. Sarah was a pillar of her community and a passionate advocate for people with disabilities, and this work is how we carry her legacy forward. The funds we raise support:
A scholarship at the college Sarah attended, awarded to students with disabilities to help them complete their education;
The Muscular Dystrophy Association of Massachusetts, which helps people like Sarah; and
Team Gleason, founded by former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who lives with ALS. Team Gleason supports people living with ALS and research toward a cure for a disease that has taken the lives of many, including members of my own family.
So here is my ask: would you be willing to take part and help us raise as much as possible for a cause that means a great deal to so many families? Just as important, would you help us spread the word by sharing the event on your social platforms? This will truly be a group effort, and your voice will help us reach far more fans than we could on our own.
If you have tweaks to this plan, or suggestions that would make it better — or easier for you — please tell me. I want this to work well for our guests as well as our fans.
Finally, the date, flyer, and more information are coming soon.
Thank you so much for your time, for considering this, and for anything you can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
With gratitude,
Robert MacIsaac
President, Sweet Sadie's Difference Makers
