This year our small pool of volunteers continued to work long and hard to bring all the shiniest goodies in the ‘verse to our Browncoat brethren.  Thanks to the amazing generosity of our con family, Alan arranged for the creation and donation of 49 custom  Browncoat Powerseed devices using a design by member Nat Dempsey.

We didn’t host a Serenity screening this year, but we did manage to donate an impressive $2695 to charities as a result of booth sales and donations.

The donation breakdown from Calgary Expo 2016 is as follows:

  • GRIT Society (Calgary): $2045
  • Kids Need to Read: $208.00
  • Canadian Red Cross (Ft. McMurray Fire Appeal): $500

Thank you everyone for making this a great experience. See you next year (or, at Edmonton Expo in Sept!)

Thank you so much to our volunteers at the CHAS Touch History Expo over the weekend. Nat, Andy, Bev, Kat & Jeri went above and beyond to help us raise funds for some great charities.

Our “Irate Fowl” live action game and charity booth raised $623 CAD this weekend. $500 will be given to Valour Place, a home away from home for military, RCMP and first responders (similar to concept of Ronald MacDonald House) who need to travel to Edmonton for medical treatment. $123 will be distributed to Kids Need to Read.

A celebratory “you’re so wonderful to us” salute to Jeff Tkachuk and Clinton Ouderkirk is also in order. Both donated lovely items to our next round of charity auctions.

Thanks so much to our sponsor CHAS for inviting Adam Baldwin as a guest to their show. He certainly made a number of people’s days.

The Alberta Browncoats team had a wonderful time at the YESS.org Homeless for a Night fundraiser. This is one of YESS’ biggest annual fundraisers and we’re proud to have been able to join them. Our small team of 3 people raised $1480 for YESS this year. Next year we hope to have a larger team at the event. Thanks to everyone who donated and/or participated!
