Thanks to many generous Arisia goers the 501st Legion, Rebel Legion and New England Browncoat fan groups raised $800 for the Make a Wish Foundation through their raffle - it was the most successfull one to date! The groups would like to extend a special thank-you to our prize donors, including: The Hurley Wire Company, Jeremy Bulloch, Joe Corroney, Rubicat Designs, Kevin Liell, and The Dented Helmet Web Board.
His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt has decreed that you are to attend his Sith Charity Ball on Friday 1/18/08 in the main Arisia Ballroom. Join members of the , and in revelry as they raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation.

Jabba and his costumed entourage will be available for photos with con-goers and raffle tickets for some very rare collectible and costume items will be on sale. In addition to some great music from a galaxy far, far away spun by the illustrious DJ Johnny Zed, come gaze on galactic dancing droids, bodacious bounty hunters and salacious sith! Many other surprises are in store for you at this hive of scum and villainy. Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha!
