Walk for Wishes Tucson - Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016

Event: Walk for Wishes Tucson

There are 2 Walk for Wishes events in Arizona (1 in Phoenix and 1 in Tucson) this year. Please make sure that you are signed up for the correct one if you are only going to do one event. I will be coordinating for both.

This is the 4th year of our participation in the Walk for Wishes. This is the 2nd Year of the Walk for Wishes in Tucson!!!! Last year we had 3 troopers and made a huge splash. Let's blow their blast doors off this year!

As we have done previously for the Walk in Phoenix, we will have some people (myself included) participating in the Walk. We may also have a designated spot for any troopers who just wish to cheer on and take pictures with the walkers and runners. I have created a team called "AZ Star Wars Groups" for the fundraising campaign (see details below).

Team Registration:
NOTE: Registration with the team is not necessary to Walk or Cheer, although it is free.
If you would like to participate in raising money for the cause, please sign up under the 501st/RL/Mando/TDE/R2 team. There is no fund-raising requirement for participation in the event, although you'll be amazed at what happens if you send out an email to your friends through the team website. You can find the team page, listed as "AZ Star Wars Groups", here:

All of the costuming groups are invited to join and/or participate.

Schedule for Event:
7:30 am - Registration and mingle with crowd

Do not worry if you need to leave a little early.

Here is the map of the course for the walk. The garages marked with X's are supposed to be free. I will be parking in the 2nd St garage (directly north of registration) due to its proximity to the activities.
