November 29, 2008 - Toys-for-Tots Mall of GA TRU

The United States Marine Corps Toys-for-Tots is a very worthy cause and a great event for 501st and Rebel Legion Members to come out in costume to help drive shoppers and donations. On November 29th, 2008 a big group of troopers came out to help United States Marine Sgt. Sean Russell collect toys and donations at the Mall of Georgia Toys R Us location in Buford, GA.



The event was organized by Star Wars Galactic Alliance member Yodafiend (Susan) and we had a really great turnout. The weather was a bit dreary but that didn't stop us from having lots of fun posing for pictures with tons of kids (and adults) and collecting 2 big boxes of toys for Toys-for-Tots. Sgt. Sean was extremely grateful for our appearance. He said it made a big difference from the day prior when he was there by himself. You can hear his comments on Episode 30 of the 501stcast.
