We’re all manner of pleased to announce that we will be holding a screening of “Serenity under the Stars” on Saturday, September 5th in Allegheny County’s South Park.

Can’t Stop the Serenity 2020 Kickoff Announcements

April 23, 2020 Charlie Leave a comment

Fellow #Browncoats,

Be assured that we intend to host Can’t Stop the Serenity charity events for Equality Now over the course of 2020. Some fundraising and gatherings will require technological means. Traditional screenings may be possible with the passage of time and under reasonable conditions. To that end, the #CSTS2020 season will be extended through mid-December to allow for later live events and the creation and adaptation of virtual events.

We’ll be hosting three online fundraisers throughout the season (via Facebook) for Spring, Summer and Fall. Please share the links everywhere and often. All of the funding will be sent to Equality Now at the close of each fundraiser. The Spring Fundraiser is here: facebook.com/donate/1340671289654438/

In conjunction with the first fundraising kick-off, we’ll be hosting a Virtual Shindig tomorrow (April 24th – International Watch Firefly Day) to talk shop and invite anyone to join in via Discord (a free voice, video and text software).… Read more…
