We would like to thank the Northern Virginia Browncoats Meetup Group for conducting a raffle to benefit Kids Need to Read at the Farpoint 2008 convention.
On Saturday, February 16, 2008, the NoVA Browncoats Meetup Group had a fan table where they raffled off various Firefly/Serenity themed goodies including a Serenity t-shirt, an Alan Tudyk autograph, the official companion books, a Captain Malcolm Reynolds cover comic, and even some handmade “companion” jewelry made by one of their members. The group raised $140.00 for The Kids Need to Read Foundation.

All of Kids Need to Read’s proceeds for February will go to support the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic in Seattle, Washington. Through the Reach Out and Read © Program (ROR), the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic can give new books to children between the ages of six months through five years at each well child check. Once a child turns six, they are no longer able to provide new books through ROR and rely solely on the generous support of individuals, companies and organizations. Kids Need to Read would like to help supply books for the clinic’s older children not served by ROR. The proceeds from this auction will help Kids Need to Read, the charity project founded by author PJ Haarsma and actor Nathan Fillion, achieve that goal.
