This is more to see if there is an interest on how many maybe willing to attend a.fundraiser in helping a local one year old with brain cancer. I'm providing a link to the fb page for this young boy.

I have poke to the father many times and he asked if the 501st would like to help out. He now has a few possible venues among them are Skate Galaxy which is kinda fitting, Baton Rouge Lazertag and the BREC skate park on Perkins. Skate Galaxy offers 50% of all admission to any cause held and they also have laser tag. We thought it would be cool for kids to donate and battle us in laser tag. If held at the skate park, urban nine would like to help sponsor the event and try to bring a skater pro or two out. The event is being planned for a few months from now in spring or early summer and dates and venue will be posted in proper format when announced if we are interested. If so and at all possible I thought this would be great for blast a trooper. I'm not sure who to speak with on this game and I know we only use it for charity events so what better cause? The parents have been getting some donations but could use all the money they can get for medical expenses and cost of moving to be close to the hospital they will be using. Thanks so much everyone.

its tough on my knees but the lazertag is fun. Plus it has sniper position up top on the bridge. perhaps they can get money spent for the sniper rifle for he day to be donated to the family.

I'm sure if he does get the skate park more than one Vader would be great. It may get warm. He's.still getting everything together. We are most interested in the skating rink but the skate park could draw a larger crowd. Mardi Gras is kinda in the way right now and he hopes to make some solid commitments from venues and potential sponsors this week.
