Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
A young man, Connor, is turning 5 and he wanted a Star Wars party to celebrate with all his friends. His first movie ever was Star Wars and his favorite character is Vader. Parents asked for donations to the YMCA Youth Scholarship Fund. Party featured a bounce house, gym activities, Star Wars themed food, decorations, party favors, music and some surprise guests from the 501st! Two Stormtroopers, upon orders from Lord Vader himself, presented Connor a Sith Vault which contained a data disk. A special birthday message from Vader was shown on the big screen much to the delight of everyone, especially Connor! A bag full of Star Wars swag, a photo shoot and then the kids found that droid we were looking for and beat it to death. Lord Vader would be pleased with such devotion from younglings.
