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:

  • Considerable donations to Equality Now charity (prompting a visit from the UK Director)
  • Fundraising for charity bike ride team racing across Europe to help aid leukaemia research charity
  • Sponsorship funds for Adoption UK and help with raising the profile of the charity amongst adoptive families
  • Prize donations and support for regional and international Can't Stop The Serenity charity screenings each year
  • Getting a wad of signatures to support a domestic violence Bill getting through the Government
  • Multiple awareness drives for getting kids to read, engaging with minority groups and supporting cancer charities
  • Lots of prep work to finally set up an artist initiative around adoption/family theme (hopefully) before the end of 2021
  • Big Damn Draw way back in 2007 that helped raise money for many JustGiving.com initiatives and domestic violence support groups across UK, United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, as well as Equality Now. The draw was a very ambitious project!

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.

Love Steve and Naomi xx
