The New England Browncoats present the Seventh Annual "Can't Stop the Serenity" Event at
the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA at midnight on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012.

"Can’t Stop the Serenity" is a global fundraising effort featuring charity screenings of Joss
Whedon’s 2005 film Serenity to benefit Equality Now. In the last six years, the New England
Browncoats have raised over $22,000, and in total over $600,000 has been raised for Equality
Now around the world.

Fans of Joss Whedon show Serenity on his birthday to honor him and to raise money for
his favorite charity, Equality Now. Equality Now (http://equalitynow.org/) works to end violence
and discrimination against women and girls around the world through the mobilization of public
pressure.

In addition to raising money for Equality Now, we will also be collecting non-perishable food items for Rosie’s Place (www.rosiesplace.org), a sanctuary for poor and homeless women that offers emergency and long-term assistance to women. In the past six years the New England Browncoats have collected over 2,500 lbs. for local charities. Anyone that brings a donation will be eligible for raffle prizes.
