Now for a not so subtle "beg for money for charity" post.....

The NE Browncoats are holding a charity lottery for a weekend pass to the Serenity Flanvention on December 9-11, 2005 at the Westin Century Plaza in Los Angeles, CA. http://www.boosterevents.com/Default.aspx?tabid=171

The winner will receive The Big Weekend Pass, which includes autographs from all the guests, seating behind BDP holders, admission to all guest QAs and activities. The winner will be eligible to buy tickets for photo ops and all exclusive events. The pass has a value of $235.00.

Tickets will cost $10 a chance. Proceeds will go to the SF Browncoats Charity Fundraiser at San Diego Comic Con (see http://www.sfbrowncoats.com/events/comiccon2005/charity/ for details). The fundraiser will benefit Equity Now (http://www.equalitynow.org/english/), Joss Whedon's favorite charity.

You can enter the lottery from now until July 11th by going and clicking on the PayPal icon in the right panel under the NE Browncoats banner.

The drawing will be held on July 23rd at the NE Browncoats July Shindig. You do not need to be present to win and your pass will be purchased in your name or the name of whoever you want.

If you are not interested in the pass make a donation anyway for a good cause to show some good old Browncoat support. And if you win I will auction it off for you and donate the proceeds to YOUR favorite charity. We are strong and we can be really mighty here!!! And if you know someone that's not on the list that would like a chance or to just donate just direct them to the right direction.
