Short Summary

Science Fiction legend and extraordinary thespian Sir Patrick Stewart has moved to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope-- known for its helicopter parents, kale chips, and double-wide strollers. 

Recently, in an interview with Intelligencer, Stewart said, "I think we are probably the only residents of Park Slope who don't have a stroller... We do eat a lot of kale, but we don't have a stroller."

How sad! When we heard this, we knew what we had to do. After all that he's given us, from brilliant science fiction icons on the screen to Beckett and Shakespeare on the American stage, it's the least we can do.

What We Need & What You Get

We need $1360.93, to purchase a quality baby-stroller for Sir Patrick and his wife. Indiegogo requires a round number, so we'll cover the 93 cents. Plus, lucky break, we qualify for free delivery.

And you get the exhilaration of knowing that you've helped one of your cultural heroes feel at home in his own neighborhood. It's a satisfaction you'll savor every day.

The Impact

In one word: Stroller. 

Another two words: Captain Picard.

Some more words: Community. Belonging. Being a part of something. Kale.

Note: in the unlikely event that Sir Patrick and his wife decline our collective gift of a stroller, all proceeds will be donated to a Brooklyn non-profit organization that provides services for families in need.

Update: Indeed Patrick Stewart turned down the stroller, and in fact tweeted that he did "NOT want a f#$king stroller" to his 1.2 million followers. "But," he continued, "charity is cool." And indeed it is-- all $296 were donated to Good Shepherd Services, a youth development, education and family service agency with more than 80 programs that serve over 26,000 children, youth and families in New york City each year.
