Headquartered in New York, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a community empowered by research, education, and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death.

What's Eufuria?
Eufuria is a furry convention experience in Upstate New York.One of the largest furry conventions in the world, Anthrocon, originated right here in Albany. However, Upstate New York had been without a furry convention for many years. In 2023, we aimed to bring a furcon back to the long-underserved Capital Region. Our inaugural event was met with a fervent response from the local furry community, inspiring us to move onwards and upwards and establish Eufuria as an annual convention.
What is a Furry?
A furry is someone who enjoys the concept of animals that think and act like people, and wants to be called a furry. The furry community was birthed out of the sci-fi convention scenes of the 1980s, and with the help of the internet, began rapidly growing into a global phenomenon. If you're familiar with other geeky/nerdy subcultures, like anime, comics, gaming, and LARP, you'll easily recognize strong similarities in furry. The main difference is that our characters are animals instead of humans (or superheroes, or wizards, or zombies...)Creativity and self-expression are pillars of the furry community. Other fandoms center around media properties such as books, movies, or TV shows that someone else created. Many furries make up their own characters, and it's often said that we are fans of each other! Art, writing, music, storytelling, role-play, costuming, social networking, and conventions are some of the myriad ways furries participate in our shared hobby. You'll get to see all of those represented at Eufuria.
Who Are We?
Eufuria is organized by the Society for Capital Region Events and Entertainment (SCREE), a 501(c)7 not-for-profit corporation. We're a passionate crew of people, dedicated to putting on events to bring furries in our community (and their supporters) together. Come visit Eufuria and see what we're all about!
