Pledford[TK] Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 Ok Im not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, and if it is not then I am sorry. I am a 3rd grade teacher at East side elementary school in elizabethton TN. I am also a member of the Carolina Garrison (tk22710) a few years ago our principal (and friend of mine) was diagnosed with ALS and only given a few years to live. He was a runner so our school decided to host a 3k race to raise money for his medical expenses. In addition to the race, we are also hosting a silent auction that day (Sept 17). Teachers were asked to bring items to add to the auction. I thought since our school LOVES SW that including a TK helmet or any helmet for that matter would be a great thing to add to the items auctioned off. It can be a kit, or a "B grade" sort of bucket. I can assemble it and put it up for auction. I am doing the weird Al concert the week before the auction so I was hoping that if I had a bucket donated I could maybe get Al to sign it before putting it up for auction. I know thats sort of a big wish but one can hope right? Anyway, I am looking for anything that can be donated. If you would like to help you can email me at [email protected].

CrookKnight[TK] Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 This is a great idea. I do not have a helmet, but i would donate to the cause. I will also foward to our DL so he can spread the word Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Pledford[TK] Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 wow that is great!!!! YES anything helps. I thought about getting enough donations to purchase a TK helmet and assembling it but we are running out of time as the Race /auction is Sept 17. I am doing the Weird Al concert Sept 10 and thought that if I had a bucket donated, I could ask Al to sign the inside. Another idea was to auction off a child birthday party with a few 501st member appearances. Not sure if that would be a logistical nightmare or not but could be fun. Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 If you get the money, here's a quick option that is pretty nice. Efx Collectibles Star Wars Stormtrooper Prop Replica Helmet by EFX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014VE3ST0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_v.cVxbK7Z8SA7 There is also the terrible Rubies option. Quote
