Our good friends over at SaveTheSCC have been working long and hard to put together a massive campaign for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was designed for fans to be heard, to spread the word, and to promote TSCC season 2 on DVD & Blu-ray (release date: Sept. 22). It all begins today and rolls forward through September and into October, with a calendar of daily fan missions, a mobile billboard and movie theater preshow ads. There’s even a charity day for fans to “give back for Sarah Connor” and donate to the American Cancer Society.

To further promote TSCC sales, SaveTheSCC is holding a prize give-away for fans who send in the UPCs from their season 2 DVD or Bluray. Prizes include a season 1 DVD signed by Thomas Dekker and Rob Hall and a Blu-ray player with season 1 on Blu-ray. We should note that SaveTheSCC did not use any fan donations for the prizes (the admin over there funded the the give-away themselves).

There’s so much more to know about The Big Freaking Push and there’s no time to waste. So head on over and dive in. Every fan’s participation is needed, starting NOW.

From savethescc:

It relies on you. Yes, you. The Freaking Big Push hinges on fan participation. We need you on the streets, stickering, handing out flyers, hitting twitter, mailing press releases…it goes on and on. We need you, SCC fans. Sarah Connor needs you.
