Fandom Fundraising With the X-Files Fan Retrospective:

Lauren and Carly's dedication to The X-Files has earned them invitations to a special events, a panel at Washington DC Comic Con, and most recently the 30th anniversary X-Files Convention in Minneapolis where they closed out the 3-day event with a screening of their documentary to a theater packed with fellow fans. The pair use their event appearances to support JBWS and were gifted crew t-shirts from director R.W. Goodwin and actor Sheila Larken to support fundraising efforts in Minneapolis. The $1,200 raised at this event reflects the generosity and compassion of The X-Files fandom, underscoring the impact that a dedicated and passionate fan base can have on local initiatives.

Continue to Support JBWS!

Thank you for turning the 30th anniversary of the X-Files into an opportunity to give back! Your donations are supporting JBWS, a non-profit organization that offers safety, support, and solutions to those impacted by domestic violence in Morris County.

When a survivor of abuse calls our 24-Hour Helpline for the first time because they're concerned their relationship might be unhealthy, your gifts are the reason we are able to answer that call. They are the reason we can be at police stations and hospitals moments after abuse is reported, offering victims critical access to resources.

Your donations allow us to welcome survivors into our residential facilities in the middle of the night. They're how we are able to be a person's side, offering legal advocacy and support, as they face their abusive partner in court. However, your gifts don't just respond to abuse, they work to prevent it through community education and abuse intervention programs designed to end domestic violence at its source.
