5 Years on and CSTS is still going strong
The 2010 Season is in full swing, and with so much going on, let’s take a moment to look back on an amazing 5 years of Can’t Stop the Serenity.
Since 2006, this amazing event has taken place in 90 Participating Cities in 9 countries spanning 3 continents! Every year, we keep growing! From 41 cities in 2006, 42 in 2007, 45 in 2008, 50 in 2009 and in 2010 there are already 50 cities holding events with more to come!
Over $400,000 raised for charity
And the events are continuing to raise incredible amounts for charity. Since 2006, $416,616.22 has been raised for Equality Now and other worthy charities! 2006 raised $65,900.24, 2007 nearly doubled that raising $106,165.69. In 2008, CSTS events raised $107,219.15 and in 2009 increased that to raise $137,331.14! Can we make it to $150,000 in 2010?
