I think we should be doing this for 'Equality Now' since it is an international browncoat endeavour. It makes it feel more like a worldwide event if we are raising funds for the same charity.

We've definately gotta do it for Equality Now. They were the reason that Serenity Day began in the first place - charity screenings to raise money for Equality Now.

In order to get people in, we should do a "Bring a friend" arrangement. If you're a Browncoat and you're going, bring along someone who hasn't seen the movie before. That would instantly double the amount of people going, so we wouldn't have to worry about not filling out a cinema, and convincing a friend or relative to go is a more surefire way than putting up flyers or posters (that's not to say we shouldn't have flyers and posters).

Speaking of flyers and posters, make sure that they say Serenity Day. This shouldn't be just a movie screening, this should be a big event and it should be promoted accordingly.

And finally, I've heard talk about after-screening shindigs on other Serenity forums around the 'Net. Does that sound like something that could be done? If we do bring a whole bunch of noobies to the screening then this'd be perfect for bringing 'em into the Browncoat fold. Hell, the whole day could become a big crash-course into Browncoatism.

Just my two cents.

My personal thoughts (everyone can feel free to disregard them) But as far as who we should raise money for, I'm leaning toward a charity that affects us. Equality Now is an awesome charity, but I just think people will be more likely to dig a little deeper into their wallet if the charity is one that could directly affect them.

Equality Now is an American charity and all proceeds go to America. I personally feel we should raise money for a charity that is Australian. Ultimately I don't think it really matters who we are raising money for, the fact that we are supporting both the BDM and a charity is the main thing.

Phleb: I disagree. The UK and other countries are raising money for Equality Now, and raising money for EN is part of the whole Serenity Day thing. Its not that its a local or American or whatever charity, its that its Joss' favourite charity and the one he'd give money to.

Like I said, just my opinion. I still think though that people will be more likely to give to a charity they both know about and one that has a direct affect on them. I'll be supporting either way, but I think a charity that will have an impact on us will be more effective in raising money.

Maybe we could do both, such as money from tickets go to EN and then people can make donations to a charity we choose.

Yeah, I think we'd be best to stick with Equality Now. That way we can talk up the "world-wide effort" side of things. Also the idea of this being our birthday present to Joss and that therefore we should be supporting his favourite charity makes sense to me.

Equality now seems to operate in a similar way to Amnesty International and really does have a global focus so I don't think there's be much difficulty "selling" it as an appropriate charity for Aussies to support and it's not like we'll be looking for local business sponsorship or anything like that, the screening itself and the signed poster prizes should give us a big enough drawcard. Also we'll have the opportunity to do something for a close to home group when we do Phleb's trivia night.

Does that make sense?
