Start Spreading the News

Does your workplace have a bulletin board where you can post messages? If so, we’ve got some great posters to share with you. Help us spread the word by putting up a CSTS poster in your office. We’ll have posters on hand to distribute at The Guild screening at Happy Harbor Comics on June 6th and at the Marian Call concert on June 18th.

Want to get a poster before the shindigs? Drop us an email and we’ll make arrangements to get the posters to you.

Have you seen our event posters when roaming around Edmonton? Leave a comment and let us know where you saw one.

AB Browncoats are participating in the YESS.org “Homeless for a Night” fundraiser

Youth Empowerment & Support Services

The Alberta Browncoats Society has decided to take their support of the Edmonton Youth Emergency Shelter Society (YESS) out of the comfort of the movie theatre and into TELUS field. Just a few short weeks before our Can’t Stop the Serenity fundraiser event, we’ll be participating in the Homeless for a Night event presented by the Canadian Western Bank.  

Word on the cortex is that it’s going to be an experience of a lifetime.  

As Browncoats, we’ve committed to “doing good in unexpected ways” and pledge our time, support, and lots of shiny cashy monies to organizations that focus on improving the lives of women and children world wide.  

So, on June 1st, we’ve committed to stepping outside of our comfort zone and will “aim to misbehave” once again. 

Long before that one night, our team banded together and set our fundraising goals high in order to challenge ourselves, but we would love to exceed this amount. Once we fulfill our fundraising goal, for one night, we will all venture outside of our comfort zones and become “homeless” at TELUS Field. That night we will hear some of the stories of the clients at YESS, we will gain more knowledge about homelessness and the youth that are in crisis in our community. Every dollar we raise goes towards YESS programs.

Help us shatter our fundraising goal by skipping one morning coffee this week & donating the cost to our team. $2 can make a difference! Make your pledge at http://www.gifttool.com/athon/OurTeamPage?ID=1312&AID=1880&TID=12122

Of course, donations over $10 come with a shiny Revenue Canada tax receipt.

And a huge thank you to everyone who has already supported our team. You help make the lives of teen’s shinier.

James Hance Prints available at Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo (CCEE)

Browncoats are found all over the world and we’ve been extremely fortunate to make the (online) acquaintance of a Florida located British transplant with amazing talent and a heart of gold. 


James Hance‘s “Mal in Carbonite” and “Firefrog” prints will be available at the Alberta Browncoats booth (1514-1515) at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo (April 27-29, 2012).

Thanks to James’ generosity, we’ll be one step closer to meeting our 2012 charity goals. We’ll have a limited number of the prints available. Please stop by and grab one before their gone!  We’ll also have copies of James’ adorable book, “The House on Chew Corner” (Star Wars/Winnie the Pooh mashup). Excellent bedtime reading for all the little CCEE visitors.

We’re moving on up

Please bear with us as we move off of the donated server space we’ve been living at for the past few years and stepping out on our own. Some shiny Alberta Browncoats are working on a new design for the site. We’re also working to improve your shopping experience and adding forums.

Please note: Going forward, the cstsedmonton.org domain will redirect to our main Alberta Browncoats domain and you’ll find all the info you need about both the Alberta Browncoats and our annual Can’t Stop the Serenity event in Edmonton in one convenient location.
