On April 2 at 1 p.m., over fifty Star Wars fans from LiningUp.Net will be on hand to begin their line for the final installment of the epic Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Located at the world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, this celebration of Star Wars fandom will last nearly seven weeks, running until midnight on May 19, when the film will premiere to the public. The line will also raise money for the Starlight-Starbright Children's Foundation.
Over the course of their line, LiningUp.Net will establish a temporary community at Grauman's. A tent structure will protect fans from the California sun and the elements. Line members will have access to wifi internet and computers to stay in touch with friends and family. Using a sign-in and sign-out system, fans can accrue hours at their convenience and then leave the line to keep up with jobs, school and other life priorities.
LiningUp.Net members have raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Starlight-Starbright Children?s Foundation during the Episode I and II lines. This year, LiningUp.Net hopes to top more than $20,000 in donations for the Foundation through sponsorships, individual contributions and the generosity of movie fans everywhere. In fact, the party hasn?t even started, and the group has raised more than $5500 so far!
For decades, the Star Wars films have captured the imagination of both the young and the young at heart. In that same spirit, Starlight-Starbright?s programs help brighten the lives and dreams of seriously ill children and their families through their various activities, including Starlight Sites, Fun Centers, PC Pals, Hospital Happenings and Starbright World. Liningup.net is once again proud to be a sponsor for the Foundation.
Reflecting the wide-ranging impact of the Star Wars phenomenon, the members of LiningUp.Net include business professionals, students, and homemakers, with some members traveling from as far away as Europe, Taiwan, and Australia. This unique celebration of movies and friendship has veterans from the previous lines anxious to return to the party, with new members joining the group daily, all looking forward to their time waiting for Star Wars: Episode III.
It is not too late to join LiningUp.Net in Line at the Grauman?s Chinese Theatre. Check out www.liningup.net/getinline for more information on how fans can be a part of all the fun and fundraising for the Starlight-Starbright Children?s Foundation!
