On Saturday November 6th, 2010, the Phoenix branch participated in their 4th local MS Walk on the Wild Side. The MS Walk is 5 miles going through our local Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and surrouding park. It is the longest walk we do each year. We raised $300 for this walk. At the Walk itself we set up the Ecto-AZ near the starting line and let the walk with the local 501st Dune Sea Garrison. As always it is one of the greatest events we do and was a blast. Luckily here in Arizona it has finally begun to cool down some. We had the great honor of our logo being on the back of the official walk t-shirts again this year.
Also on Saturday the Southeastern Arizona Ghostbusters participated in their first Tucson Comic Con. The con is growing by leaps and bounds. Our team set up a booth to help collect funds for Kierra's Courage, which is helping to buy a girl a handicap van. This charity is what our next screening of Ghostbusters 1 & 2 will be benefitting. The team collected funds and mingled with the crowd and got a spot on the local Fox TV station.
On Sunday, the Phoenix Branch participated in their first “Partners In Prosperity” Block Party and Car Show. We set up a booth with the Ecto-AZ and collected funds for 4 of the local police and sherriff's department's youth organizations. One of the highlights was getting to see Elvis lately.
A busy weekend but we have another one just around the corner.
