Midwest Base (Rebel Legion) has partnered with Ohio Garrison (501st) and the Ohio Star Wars Collector's Club (OSWCC) in hosting an online fundraiser to benefit the Autism Speaks "Walk Now For Autism" campaign. This raffle-style fundraiser will serve as the main fundraising opportunity for both the Cleveland and Columbus teams participating in local “Walk Now For Autism” events.

The winner of the raffle will receive: a custom-framed 27” X 40" CLONE WARS theatrical movie poster signed (with personalized artwork) by director Dave Filoni.

Tickets for the CLONE WARS/Dave Filoni poster raffle are:
1 ticket = $5 US
3 tickets = $10 US

There is NO limit on the number of raffle tickets an individual can purchase. All online raffle submissions will be matched with a physical raffle tickets and entered into a drawing to be held later this fall.

All proceeds from this raffle-style fundraiser will be donated to Autism Speaks on behalf of all three Star Wars fan-based organizations.

Obviously, something like this would be a major addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection; but mostly this is an opportunity to help the millions of children (1 in 150) with this complex brain disorder.
