On Dec 6th 2014, Members of the Carolina Garrison teamed up with the Winston Salem Marine Corps League to have a Toy Drive. The drive was held at Toys R Us. It was a cool rainy day but shoppers braved the weather to see some of their favorite Star Wars characters and donate to a great cause. lots of toys were collected on this day. One of the boxes bottom fell open as they were carrying it out from all the toys. Troopers mingled around the toy store, posed for pictures and caused mayhem whenever they could. The Marine Corps League was very pleased with the event and want to work with us again in the future.


Special Thanks to all Troopers and Wranglers. On Christmas day a child somewhere will smile because of the work you have done.

Troopers in attendance:

Jane Willer - (Luke)
Brian Dudas - (Blackout)
Austin Tyner - (TK)
Tom Gardner - (Tusken)
Matt Mascorro - (TD)
Jerry Sienkiewicz - (Darth Vader)
Kimberly Wills-Starin - (Mara Jade)



Handlers/Wranglers:

Jenny Heimke
Madison Mascorro
LuAnn Mascorro
David Scott

I am sorry for the delay in the trip report. The right side of pictures is being cropped out when posted from photobucket. Brad Lee knows of this problem and is working on a solution.

Can we find out how many toys were donated? That's reportable on the charity reports. Let me know before the end of the month.

There is not a way of knowing the total number of toys collected. We collected eight total boxes full of toys. Even if we had a total number of toys we can't put a dollar amount on it because all the toys have different values. Event was a great success and I'm sure the kids were happy on Christmas morning. :D
