Film Serenity Charity Screenings Make Over $13,000.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Aug 22 at 2:00 PM

Wondering how much those charity screenings of Serenity made for Equality Now and the Women’s Film Initiative? Here’s the word from b!X, one of the event’s organizers:

As first announced at Firefly at the Mission on 21 August 2007, PDX Browncoats raised more than $13,000 for Equality Now at this year’s Cant Stop The Serenity charity screenings (and over $1,000 for the Women’s Film Initiative). That’s a combined total that nearly doubles last year’s take of $7,200.

Nice work. That’s a lot of money going to some good causes.

Comments

FWIW, that puts the global totals around $110,000 or so this year, which is more than $40,000 over last year's global take.

Barring some dramatic revision of other cities' totals, this likely puts Portland at the top of the per-city take for the second year running.
