This is a charity community event in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day created by 3-21 Ohana (South Bay Down Syndrome Group). Our intent is to raise awareness as well as money for our budding non-profit organization which seeks to empower families through education. We will be having stage entertainment from within the DS community. And, we have invited families who have a child with DS to come out and celebrate within the context of the general community!

How did you hear about us? I heard about the 501st Legion from my cousin, Amanda Harrington and I heard about the Rebel Legion from them.

I first signed up for this with the 501st.

If my schedule, the timing of the event, and if I can fairly represent both legions, I'll go X-Wing pilot here.

Glad to have the opportunity to represent Endor Base again.

ohhhh... that's why the GGG canceled the event.

sabreless jedis and bucketless pilots then?

Sadly yes. The venue won't allow troopers in helmets or any Prop weapons. It's sad because this is such a good cause but we're so limited. I understand if anyone wants to drop out. I am positive that if the ggg cancels because of the helmet policy then the mandos probably won't attend either. The helmets are a necessity.

Rebels, its up to you guys if you make it or not.
