The Utah Browncoats are roaring back into action with the first Can’t Stop The Serenity screening event of 2017.
The event is on Saturday June 10th and is the second time they’ve used a split venue with the movie screening of Serenity at Brewvies from 1pm-3pm and a separate after-party next door at Legends Sports Pub from 3pm-6pm where there will be food, auctions, prize drawing, and a cosplay contest.
Organiser Halo says “We did this for the first time last year and the response was overwhelmingly positive, and we had much more time to relax and socialise together”.
One exciting addition to this year’s screening is the introduction of the Browncoat ‘Guilds of the ‘Verse’.
Halo explains “Last summer the Utah Browncoats won the bid to host the prestigious national event, the Browncoat Ball.… Read more…
The 2017 Global Can’t Stop the Serenity t-shirts are now available to order. We have again partnered with Represent so t-shirts are available to the general public through online sales, allowing anyone to support CSTS even if they can’t make it to an event. And if you are lucky enough to attend an event, you can attend in style and… represent!
Represent is a T-shirt printing company specializing in charity drives. They’ve been the powerful machinery behind several high profile celebrity fundraisers, including efforts by Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, Felicia Day, and many others.
100% of t-shirt proceeds will go directly to Equality Now.
Using Represent also means we can offer a wide variety of styles, sizes and colours and with back to back campaigns relaunching automatically every three weeks, you can order at any time throughout the entire CSTS season.… Read more…
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…

With the 2016 season coming to a close, the Global Steering Committee (GSC) started the process of looking for a new Global Event Coordinator to take over from Annie Burnaman who did such a great job last year.
We’re excited to announce that Bob Averell will be taking over the reins for 2017! Bob is a member of the Pennsylvania Browncoats, Rivers and Bridges Brigade (Pittsburgh), which he helped start back in 2004. He has been involved with his local CSTS event every year, and we are very pleased that he has agreed to step forward to the global organization.
Bob tells us: “Annie said last year that CSTS is too pretty to die and it’s a testament to all those who have worked at both the local and global level over the years that we are still able to make a mark.”… Read more…
