I think the original idea came from the idea that people are more likely to support/attend/give to charities in the local area, and if we added a local charity, we might widen our base of people who'd attend this event, donate to the event, and perhaps gain greater publicity.
I think it is a good idea and a great way to "expand" the base of interest and sell more tickets and raise more money. But, given the current state of the economy, maybe it's something that's a better idea to do next year, and see if we can raise interest/donations for this year's event in a different way?
Just a thought. :)

My major concern lies in the fact that last year we cleared about 1,200 last year and while ideally we'll make more this year, given how little we make in the first place for donations, I don't know why we're trying to split it between more than one charity.

CSTS allows the screening to raise money for local charities along with Equality Now.?There is both at prize drawing and a silent auction.? The prize drawing raises money because people can buy extra tickets to try for the prize they want.

Myron,?Is it a charity auction or a prize drawing? I was of the understanding it was a?charity auction and the items would be bid on by attendees. I don't understand how a prize drawing raises more money.??How will the proceeds be split? I have concerns about using an Equality Now fundraiser that has the nationwide blessing of Universal Studios and begin splitting hairs - not that local charities are not important, but it would seem that our ability to raise more money for Equality Now year after year will be compromised by this - at the same time, this could bring our Atlanta screening under scrutiny by Universal should they frown upon straying from Equality Now.?Let me know.?Thanks,Michael

Hello fellow Browncoats!
The Serenity Screening is creeping closer and closer so I wanted to send out an email asking for donations for our Prize Drawing which takes place right before the screening of Serenity. The ticket prices alone barely cover the cost of renting the Theater and the 35mm print of the film, so our Prize Drawing is a huge portion of the proceeds that will go to our charities. This year we have the national charity Equality Now and locally we're supporting the Atlanta Community Food Bank. These items can be anything from the Whedonverse, be it Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse or Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
These items can be brought to our monthly Meetup or I can arrange to pick them up from you if you can't make it to the Meetup. Please email me through this site if you have any questions.
Thanks for everyone's continued support for this worthwhile event.
Stay shiny,
Myron
