Our area browncoat group was already planning on having a big shindig for the opening night of the movie and having some drawings for prizes, but we're working on turning it into a raffle to raise money for hurricaine releif.

We're also joining it up with a plan that we already had for a local comic shop day promotion we've been working on across the state, where browncoats would go to their comic shop and sit for the afternoon on the 28th and talk to people about the movie. We're hoping to broaden that out now to sell raffle tickets and get prize donations from the area stores for the project, giving the movie a great batch of publicity and doing our part as browncoats to help.

I think it's one of the good things about this fanbase that even in the beginning we were running 'Brown Coat drives' to try and keep our show flying, and now we can do even more.

If anybody else wants to do something similar I'd advise looking into your state gambling laws on raffles (here it looks like you have to be a registered non-profit group so we're going to talk to the Red Cross) and get in touch with your local merchants now to try and get them involved with any plans you have so they can publicize them on events calendars for their shop.
