Thanks to the generosity of DCSWCC members, the club was able to donate over 24 toys to 2007's Toys for Tots campaign.  One of the core missions of the DCSWCC is to help the children of the local community.  Through charity pin sales, canned food collections, and the annual Toys for Tots campaigns, the club has donated over $10,000 to assist the children of the Washington DC metro area.  DCSWCC has raised money for the DC Children's Hospital, the United Mitochondrial Disease Fund and most recently the Children's Inn at NIH.

 

The Washington DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC) is proud to announce our fourth bi-annual charity lapel pin sale. The 2010 pin features Luke on his tauntaun with our signature Washington Monument in the background, in honor of the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. Fourth in DCSWCC’s series of high-quality cloisonné lapel pins, officially sanctioned by Lucasfilm Ltd., each pin is individually stamped and numbered on the back. Only 1000 will ever be made.

All proceeds from the sales of this pin benefit the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, the hospital housing provider for the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, Maryland.  DCSWCC’s support this year will be directed toward military families with critically ill children at BIT’s “House on the Bay” in Ocean City, Maryland.  For more information about Believe in Tomorrow, visit their website at http://www.believeintomorrow.org.

Scour the attic! Clean out the basement! Dump out the toyboxes! Bring your Star Wars stuff – old or new – to the Star Wars Roadshow for an expert analysis and appraisal. Meet Jedi, stormtroopers, and maybe even Darth Vader himself! Free give-aways and door prizes!

Local experts on Star Wars collectibles will be on hand to evaluate items brought to the event, much like the famous “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS. Do you have an old Star Wars toy lying around, some old comic books, cards and stickers, or any other interesting or unique piece of Star Wars history? If so, clean out those attics and bring your Star Wars toys and collectibles.
