FUNDRAISING
Most importantly, we continue to regularly donate money raised from the sale of shirts and merchandise and special auctions to many charities supported by the cast and importantly, by you and us. The fans.
Indeed, as the grateful parents of 2 adopted kiddies, we are especially keen to raise awareness and cash for adoption charities where we can, who never seem to get the support and recognition they deserve.

Through previous events-based jobs and via our friends that run UK conventions (hello Jason and Sean), we've been lucky enough to have worked with most of the wonderful Firefly cast and crew on several occasions who blatantly still love and respect the Browncoat fandom. And of course, you guys.
From an adoption point of view, with so many children out there in urgent need of some unconditional love, trust and stability, we're keen to do whatever it takes to help, including raising awareness, encouraging participation and working with charities here in the UK, as well as those elsewhere in the World.
Just as important, is preventing domestic violence and attacks/abuse on women, something very close to our hearts through personal experience. It's very scary that 1 in 3 women will be attacked in their lives. If together we can stop just 1 of those, that will be a truly wonderful thing.

In addition to regular donations, supportive work and volunteering, a few selected charity highlights in recent years include:
So for all these reasons (and more) thanks for all your ongoing best wishes, custom and support... and stay safe out there in the black.
