Farewell to Sending a Wave

It is with sadness that we have heard that Wendy Scott has recorded her last episode of the podcast Sending A Wave.

For 11 years or more, they have supported Can’t Stop the Serenity. Organizers and Global Event Coordinators were interviewed every year. When Odile Thomas, one of the past hosts, ran CSTS events, Sending a Wave was there recording it all.

They promoted the screenings and affiliate events and urged people to get involved.

Wendy and Odile spoke openly about what they felt worked, and what didn’t with Can’t Stop the Serenity and it was obvious how much they cared.

Eleven years and a bit is a long time to run a podcast and Wendy can be very proud of what she accomplished. We will never know how many people attended a CSTS event because they heard about it on Sending a Wave, but we do know that it made a big difference.… Read more…

Could you be a CSTS Global Sponsor?

Each year the global CSTS team supports events in cities all over the world as they raise money for Equality Now and a range of other amazing local charities.

Part of this support is providing merchandise and other items that can be used as prizes at local events in raffles, auctions or competitions.

This year we are again looking for organisations or individuals to help us with this by providing items which we can distribute to the events worldwide.

There are some simple guidelines for what can be accepted:-

  • Ideally we would like 40 of any item so we can distribute one to each participating city
  • Firefly/Serenity or general Whedonverse items are preferable
  • No weapons or weapon-like objects please
  • Preferably nothing that might easily be broken in transit, for example mugs or other delicate items
  • It would also be great if the items were fairly easily to ship as events are all over the world
  • Items must be received by 20 May 2017 to ensure we can start shipping them out before the first events of the season

If you would like to support us but don’t have 40 items, we would still be very interested in talking to you about putting those items in the global auction which happens at the end of each CSTS season, the proceeds of which all go to Equality Now.… Read more…
