Mission Report: CCC Snow Day (Mt. Pleasant, SC)

Mission Report - 01.26.13 (Shoot-The-Trooper event)
A few members (and upcoming recruits) of the Carolina Garrison swooped in at the Carolina Children's Charity Snow Day event this past Saturday. This event had snow play areas, live music, food, corn-hole tournament, silent auction, local artists, etc. We showed our Imperial support by allowing the local residents to donate $ to the cause and playing Shoot-The-Trooper with a few 501st members. Along with playing the game with the crowd the members all took turns posing for the "never-ending...but always welcomed" photo ops.
The money raised went towards Carolina Children's Charity, an organization which helps reward financial grants to local Lowcountry children with birth defects and/or childhood diseases from birth through 18 years of age. Needless to say, the event was a great success given that every time it seemed the line was slacking up...it just reformed and got longer. Here are some pics we were able to get from the event as well as a video from the local newspaper. In the video, you can see some of the 501st members starting around 00:46.
***I'm also happy to announce that the Carolina Garrison helped to raise $246 for the Carolina Children's Charity with the Shoot-The-Trooper game. 100% of the proceeds went straight to the charity. Thank you once again for those that came out on Saturday and trooped.***
In attendance at this event were:
TD-5945
TI-4734
TI-8560
TA-240
Jennifer Lam-Koronkowski (upcoming 501st recruit / Mara Jade)
Chris Gould (upcoming 501st recruit / Boba Fett)
I have to say, it was a pleasure hanging out and meeting Mr. Al de Lachica whom made the drive all the way from Newberry, SC. Hope to troop with him again in the future. And as always, it was a pleasure trooping with the rest of the members too. Enjoy the pics...
