Annual Event Post | Calendar of Events

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.

T-Shirts, Posters, Big Damn Bags for Pre-Sale Now. Sponsorships available, as well.

With artwork from Adam Levermore-Rich, you know you’ll want to own these amazing pieces of ‘Verse memorabilia. We are offering women’s and junior’s sized t-shirts in addition to the standard men’s t-shirt sizes. This year we also have two sizes of posters.

So if 24×36 is a little too big for your bedroom wall, how about an 11×17?

New to this year – The Big Damn Bag! Taking cue from our neighbors, the Dallas Browncoats, we’ve put together a limited number of Big Damn Bags for our attendees to pre-purchase. These bags will have a number of Can’t Stop The Serenity Essentials, as well as some limited edition goodies.

Want to help out Equality Now and get one of everything (and then some)? The Big Damn Bag is the way to go!
