California Browncoats is a 501(c)3 non profit dedicated to promoting the fandom of Firefly & Serenity and other projects of their cast & crew through charitable works. We can be found at conventions, screenings, shindigs, and other events throughout California. Since 2007, California Browncoats has donated over $240,000 to various charities. A major part of the California Browncoats' mission is to raise funds for other non-profit charities. We try to enlist the help of a celebrity spokesperson/sponsor from the cast or crew of Firefly or Serenity. The spokesperson/sponsor will choose the charity that receives the funds we raise at that event. Right now, we are raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association, chosen for us by Sean Maher, through our GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/cal ifornia-browncoats-wonderconon (less)
