Ni Hao Browncoats.

We have some fantastic news to share as we approach the date of our Name That Tune FUNdraiser (Sunday, May 2nd – Original Joe’s Varsity – 8404 109 St, Edmonton. 7pm – 10:30pm).

We have secured some excellent prizes to be given away and are pleased to announce that the team to raise the most cashy money for the Browncoats will be awarded with FREE tickets to the Rainmaker Rodeo concert series to either night of the team’s choice. This year the headliners include Dwight Yoakam and Adam Gregory (May 28th) and Buckcherry with Social Code (May 29th). Tickets are valued at $49.95 each (plus service charge) and we’re thrilled to be able to award this fantastic prize to our dedicated supporters. In addition to the team prize, the individual who raises the most money will be awarded with a $50 gift card to Gateway Lanes Recreation Centre. There are many more great prizes to be won for participants in the Name That Tune showdown as well as some door prizes.

We appreciate every dollar that you raise to help our cause and want to make sure your dedication and support is rewarded!

For those of you who are a bit shy on the fundraising end of things, here are a couple of tips to keep you in the running for the big prizes:

  1. Start by asking family and friends for a small donation. Even $2-5 adds up quickly and makes a difference in the long run!
  2. Too shy to approach people in person? Leave your sponsor sheet on the lunchroom table with a post-it asking for support and a date/time when you’ll come around to collect the money. Or pass it around with an envelope with a list of employee names. As each person receives it, they can cross their name off and pass it along to the next.
  3. It helps if you know a bit about the cause, so read up on the Alberta Browncoats and the CSTS Edmonton event in case people ask you questions.
  4. Ask your best friend/sister/spouse/roommate to help you solicit donations-even if they are unable to attend the event with you! They can take a copy of the sponsor sheet to work and pass it around as well.

Need a handy dandy Registration Form (pdf)?

Again, on behalf of the Alberta Browncoats Society, we thank you for your support and can’t wait to see you all out there at the Name That Tune event and the CSTS Edmonton in June.

Stay shiny!

We’re so excited to announce our first piece of CSTS related advertizing.

Three of the members of the CSTS Edmonton organizing committee (Alberta Browncoats Bev, Drew & Sheelagh) were interviewed by Wendy from Sending a Wave (#58, at approx 37:45) at Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Firefly & Serenity in November 2009. In it, we drop two very important pieces of information; the date and that the venue and licensing have been booked.

Thank you so much to Wendy and Odile from Sending a Wave. It was wonderful speaking to you Wendy and we hope to have a chance to meet up again soon.
