Backstreet Boys fans from around the world will head to Baltimore on
Saturday and Sunday (March 2 and 3) for the first ever Backstreet
Boys 2002 Fan Convention at the BWI Marriott Hotel. Fans will travel
from as far away as Holland and Belgium to attend the event,
convention chairperson Janet Connell told LAUNCH.
The unofficial convention/benefit organized solely by Backstreet
Boys fans is a charity fundraiser to raise money and awareness for
the Backstreet Boys' charitable organizations, including Howie
Dorough's Dorough Lupus Foundation, Kevin Richardson's Just Within
Reach, Nick Carter's Oceans Campaign, A.J. McLean's Johnny No Name (JNN)
Foundation, and Brian Littrell's Healthy Heart Club.
"We're going to have a lot of fun celebrating the Backstreet
Boys," said Connell, adding, "This event is by the fans,
for the fans." In conjunction with the arrival of the
convention, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley officially proclaimed
Saturday (March 2) to be Backstreet Boys Day in the city.
While the Backstreet Boys themselves are not scheduled to attend the
convention, some of their closest friends and family members are
confirmed to be on-hand, including Littrell's mother, Dorough's
mother and sister, and representatives from the Boys respective
charities.
The festivities will include an A.J. McLean look-alike contest,
trivia contests, raffles, a fan rally, a fan award presentation, and
a Backstreet Boys karaoke contest. In addition, there will be a
charity auction that will include autographed Backstreet Boys
merchandise. For more information about the 2002 Backstreet Boys Fan
Convention, visit the official website.
