JKOC helping in the community...again!
|
September is always a busy time for many worthy charity events: heartwalks, fundraisers for cancer research, and organizations looking for the cure to a variety of disease that effect children. If there was ever a time for The Jedi Knights of Cleveland to get involved...now's the time!
In what has become an annual event for us, The American Heart Association asked if any of our local Rebel Legion and 501st members would be available to be part the AHA Heartwalk. This year's event (hosted by Akron University) would be the third year in a row that JKOC has helped out. As always, the JKOC team volunteered to operate one of the water stations as well as pose for pictures with several walkers, volunteers, and special guests of the event. The people from AHA Akron wanted to thank us for our continued support of their fight against cardiovascular diseases and stroke. For a recap of all the day's events, visit the JKOC Archives
Meanwhile, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Walk hosted a walk benefitting The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Several of our friends joined the Ohio Garrison team and walked the 5K course (in armor). While many described the journey as an "uphill" battle, then entire team finished the course. In addition to the walk, the troopers posed for pictures with fellow JDRF walkers and Star Wars fans of all ages. This marks the second year Ohio Garrison has fielded a team for the Cleveland area JDRF walk.
Congratulations to Beltayn and his team on a most impressive "Imperial March."
Helping out in the community isn't something new for the members of The Jedi Knights of Cleveland. Over the summer, JKOC was featured twice on the starwars.com online newsletter Bantha Tracks Online.

Whether it's our Rebel Legion and 501st costumers, or just a group of everyday Star Wars fans looking to make a difference in northeastern Ohio, the members of The Jedi Knights of Cleveland are making quite a name for themselves by helping others. |
