"ONE OF THE OLDEST IF NOT ALREADY THE OLDEST FAN CLUB ORGANIZATION FOR BATTLESTAR GALACTICA"
"LEADING THE BSG UNIVERSE IN KEEPING THE FAITH ALIVE"
NOTE: **THE WEBSITE WILL GO THROUGH SOME CHANGES FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLUB ORGANIZATION - JULY 1, 2025**
A mission statement for Checkers Green
Inspiration is ultimately what Checkers Green has been created to provide, or at least to be a venue for it.
If asked, most of us would probably agree that it’s all too easy to get wrapped up in the whirlwind of daily life and forget to give back. Or to be left with your head spinning when you think about all the places you could make your contribution and not being able to decide, or knowing which is even legitimate.
This is where Checkers Green comes in for BSG fans.
The aim of the site is to turn the spotlight on the activism and charitable works of the stars, gathering as much information as possible and putting it in one location, offering it up to fans as potential opportunities to give.
Bodie Olmos’ (Brendan “Hot Dog” Constanza) recent fund-raising in conjunction with his run in the L.A. Marathon provided me such an opportunity. It felt good to give. It felt great to cheerlead his fundraising, but it felt absolutely amazing to watch that total climb to more than $10,000 by the end of the race and know it was going to fight cancer, a disease that robbed me of two of the most important men in my life at young ages.
The joy of giving is what I hope to spread to other Battlestar Galactica fans with Checkers Green.
It is my wish that it will help circumvent some of the “obstacles” to giving that daily life tosses at us and provide inspiration for people to step up and help in whatever way moves them.

This would be a fab address to bookmark for your charity causes because so many will find whatever you are looking for here.
Many of the BSG the actors have gathered up here and lended themselves to some fabulous causes.
Tricia Helfer and Katie Sackhoff have some great online charity shops and thanks to Jamie Barber's PETA ad
for waking up my morning coffee. :-)
There is nothing better than knowing the cast and the fans are still connected through BSG.
Hit LIKE if you read about Checkers.

It is important to give back to the community. Many of the BSG cast, as stated above, are very involved in charity work like Katee and Tricia Helfer's Acting Outlaws site. Great idea to spread the word Dawn.
