Caring in the Carolinas

When I think of North Carolina, I think of surfing, sun, and sand. But it turns out that there’s a lot more to this lovely piece of land than just water and waves. It seems that it is home to some pretty generous Browncoats, too.

Can’t Stop the Serenity events have proven to be wonderful fundraisers for Kids Need to Read, and (as is always the case with such things) some showings manage to stand out as donation leaders. The Raleigh, North Carolina event, held on June 29, 2009, did just that.

Hosted by the North Carolina Browncoats, this particular screening of Serenity raised $700 for Kids Need to Read! That’s an impressive number! KNTR can get a lot of books to a lot of kids with donations like that!

The Kids Need to Read Foundation sends its thanks to every Browncoat who attended this event. In addition, we especially recognize the efforts of the organizers, sponsors, and raffle item contributors that helped make Can’t Stop the Serenity Raleigh such an amazing success for the North Carolina Browncoats and Kids Need to Read!

Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.
