Bad guys, big hearts...

While the 501st was initially founded to unite costumers with a penchant for Star Wars villainy, one of our real-world missions is to bring good to our communities through volunteer charity work. The 501st is always looking for opportunities to brighten the lives of the less fortunate and to bring awareness to positive causes on both a local and global scale.

Each year the 501st Legion members volunteer their time to attend a number of charity related events. In 2013 Legion members helped to raise $262,328 through our own fundraising efforts, attended events that helped to raise over $32 Million Dollars for charity. Our members donated over 28,946′man hours’ wearing our Imperial Costumes all in the name of fundraising and charity!
