JemCon was a Jem and the Holograms convention.

... JemCon was held in Chicago [in September 2007]. Among the convention's activities was a charity auction held Saturday evening. JemCon 2007 head of programming Tara O'Shea said, "We chose The Harbour, Inc. as our designated charity for JemCon 2007 because as an organisation that provides crisis care and shelter for runaway and troubled adolescent girls in the Chicago-land area. It seemed the closest equivalent to the Starlight Foundation and Haven House in the fiction Jem television series, and embodied the ideals set forth by the series, and as such, would really resonate with the attendees and the fandom at large. Also, it had the added bonus of the Harbour representative we spoke with having been a huge Jem fan in her youth! We were so incredibly thrilled to be able to donate over $1105 to the organisation, and really make a difference for young women in need."
