Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
The Local NHL Hockey Affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, hosted a Star Wars themed evening in recognition of the release of The Last Jedi in theaters over the weekend. Even though the Garrison was inundated with requests to appear all over both states, a few of our members, along with some folks from the Rebel Legion, were able to come join in the festivities and take pictures with the patrons.

Did this event support a charity? If yes, which charity?:
Yes - Make-A-Wish (indirectly via a portion of proceeds from ticket sales thru an available link on the Team's website)

Event Length (Hours):
2.5

Indirect Funds Raised (Total money raised by event):(delete this section if not applicable)
Checking... there was a link provided that if used for ticket purchases, a portion of the proceeds would be donated to our local Make A Wish offices. I am researching with our contact on what that final number donated was.
