Sunday night at the Hilton, nearly 70 B3 attendees participated in a raffle benefiting Fringe Theatre Adventures, a non-profit organization in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The donations totaled approximately $1500, and were made in honor of Nathan's next birthday!

The raffle included 57 prizes that were generously donated by individual Browncoats as well as B3 dealers. The prizes included:

Mal Limited Edition Fine Art Canvas advance print (Jason Palmer)
Serenity ornament, TPB, Zippo lighter (Dark Horse)
Jayne and Jewel photos (Holzheimers)
Mal photos autographed by Nathan, authentic Serenity celluloid (originally purchased from Nathan's brother)
Wash-o-saurus gift bag, including Dashboard Buddha, lanyards, and a Bag 'o Wash-o-saurs
Limited edition, autographed posters (Geoffrey Mandel, Serenity graphic artist)
Serenity poker chips (Read My Chest)

Firefly trading cards, bracelets, and a terrifying space monkey (FanDone)
Art Prints by Mike Phillips (Sihnon Prints)

This raffle was part of the
Keep the Fringe Flyin' donation drive, which continues until March 27th. For more information, please visit http://www.goodworkspresents.org/index.html.

We can't say enough about the generosity of everyone who donated and the dealers who provided such incredible prizes. Thank you!

I think it's amazing that even after getting literally ripped off, the Browncoats still opened their wallets for a good cause. Just more proof that Browncoats are the best fan group in the 'verse.

Oh, it was the most amazing thing. We saw generosity and kindness in measures that were unbelievable considering the timeframe and the circumstances.

I got to see how many of the vendors donated and was told by members of my fellow Good Works team how they willingly and enthusiastically jumped at the chance to donate stuff to raffle.
These folks are the best of the best IMHO.
Then I stood in the room as people filtered in and out quietly so as not to cause trouble at the Hilton and donated more than we ever thought possible... again at the end of the proceedings!

The raffle was fun, people were excited! I'm so very proud of the girls who worked hard to make flyers, supplied the tickets to use for the raffle and supplied door opening skills, ( you know who you are! ) and who took money, wrote down amounts and made the things run smoothly. I'm so proud of this crew.

Found this post that lists the websites of the dealers from "Cancelled Flanvention". I've matched some up with the donors above.
