The Event

Can't Stop The Serenity is a global series of screenings of the film 'Serenity,' held to raise money and awareness for Equality Now, an international women's rights advocacy group. Can't Stop The Serenity events are held on (or around) June 23, which is writer / director Joss Whedon's birthday, through the ‘Serenity’ Release Anniversary, September 30.

Want to be a Big Damn Hero?

If so, we are looking for people willing to help prepare and support a fast-paced marketing campaign to gain some local business sponsorships, including fundraisers, street team members, local artists, contributors, printers and media.

In its inaugural year of 2006, CSTS raised over $65,000 in 47 cities across the globe. In 2007, 46 cities brought in over $115,000 for charity. “We are hoping to continue growing that donation amount in 2008,” says Beth Nelson, Global Coordinator of the 2008 Can’t Stop The Serenity events and organizer of the Austin, TX event.

Get more information here or contact Beth with your area of interest.

Thanks to our 2008 Sponsors!
