Wow, can you believe it's now our 5th year? Back in 2006, theonetrueb!x had a brain wave of holding a screening of Serenity to recognise Joss Whedon's birthday and donate the proceeds to Equality Now. Since then, we've gone on to see Can't Stop the Serenity in 80 cities across 9 countries! And we've raised over $400,000 for Equality Now and other worthy charities.

Well done everyone, and congratulations! We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty!!

Phoenix also had a show in 2006, making it a founding city/5 year veteran. It might be listed under Tempe (a suburb of Phoenix).

Thanks Jenn! I've updated each of the lists to reflect the wonderful committment of the Phoenix & Tempe Browncoats.

On this day in 2006, Ann Arbor, MI, held the very first Can't Stop the Serenity screening.

Lioness · **Posts:** 2430 **Signal Origin:** Toronto

I remember that. We were all anxious. It was as though if it went well, ours would go well.

Flame · **Posts:** 51 **Signal Origin:** Raleigh, NC

Raleigh held screenings in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. You left out 2007 in the list above. And I believe that makes us a veteran city, as well?
