WHAT IS #SCULLYCOFFEE4NF?
In the summer of 2016, I noticed that coffee shop baristas yelling out names reminded me of Mulder yelling out “Scullaaay!” on my favorite show, The X-Files. So I gave my name as Scully for a laugh, shared the picture with some other fans, and encouraged them to try it, too. I even promised to donate a dollar to the Neurofibromatosis Network for everyone who did it. I didn’t raise a whole lot of money, but the idea to have a #ScullyCoffee4NF day on Scully's birthday was born.
Gillian Anderson rose to fame on The X-Files playing Special Agent Dana Scully. She continues to delight her fans with memorable roles in The Fall, Sex Education and The Crown just to name a few. Ms. Anderson has also been a longtime supporter of the NF Network. As fans of Gillian, we thought this would be a fun way to support the work of the NF Network & celebrate her iconic character’s birthday.
Since 2017, fans have donated over $10,000 to the NF Network on #ScullyCoffee4NF day! Thank you to everyone who has donated in the past and thank you Gillian Anderson for inspiring generosity in your fans!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE ON FEBRUARY 23RD:
1. Use the name “Scully” at your favorite coffee shop, or just take a creative coffee picture from home. We love the fun pictures, but we want you all to be safe this year, too!
2. Take a picture or video and share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tag it #ScullyCoffee4NF.
3. Make a donation to the NF Network in honor of Scully Coffee 4NF day. Be sure to select ScullyCoffee4NF from the dropdown menu under ‘contributing towards.’ Every $10 donated gets you a chance in our donor prize drawing - prizes pictured below. So $20=2 chances to win, $30=3 chances to win, etc. Only one prize per person.
If you can’t get to a coffee shop or you don’t drink coffee, no problem, be creative! The important part is to make the donation at the NF Network, you’ll still be entered in the drawing-the coffee pictures are just for fun!
You can also support the fundraiser by purchasing the following items. These talented and generous fans will be donating a portion of their sales to the NF Network!
