The Cher Convention started in 2000 as a one time event to bring fans together to celebrate "Believe" going to Number One on the Billboard charts, and to donate the proceeds to the Children's Craniofacial Association. But, with over 700 attendees from all over the world, worldwide press, and countless emails for another convention, it has become a biennial event.

All Proceeds go to the Children's Craniofacial Association.
Over $120,000 given.
Thank You for your Support.

This is an independent event sanctioned by the
Children's Craniofacial Association and
run by a small group of volunteers.

Our beloved Sonny Smith passed peacefully from cancer on September 12, 2007. He was 57 years old. Brother to Wayne Smith. He was very generous in his work with the convention. He will be missed.
Wayne Smith's mother, Clara passed away on January 10, 2008. She was a very sweet lady and will be missed.
 
Patti Darcy Jones-June 16, 2007-54. The Cher Convention sends our deepest condolences to Patti Darcy Jones' family and friends.  Patti, Cher's backup singer of 20 years, always gave her all during each and every performance, and she'll forever be remembered and missed.
