Give me 5 for kids Mackay fundraiser - TripleSix - Wednesday 8-Jun-2016 Date: Sunday 5th June Venue: Mackay Showgrounds Time:11:00 - 15:00 Jaggers time Mission:To help the Give me 5 for kids charity group raise funds Trooper Attendance: RBG: TK-46824 TrippleSix TD-4914 Jaggers DZ-25087 Peckles TK-29841 Gix Support Crew / Guest Trooper Attendance: We had help/photographer from two of Sea FMs staff Details: The troops turned up to the event and prepared for the days task in a luxurious changeroom. Perfect uninterrupted views with fresh cool air. Extremely lucky troopers in my book...... From the moment we walked in to the event we were swamped by fans young and old. we could barely take a few steps without being mobbed for photos. This coupled with shaking of the old donation tin meant that the day was very successful. Not only for the organisers and the 501st but also the amazed fans in the crowds. Charity Funds Raised: TBC Injuries / Malfunctions:A glove flying off and dropped E-11 during a coin challenge but none really Public Incidents:Contagious smiles Mission Status: Complete and utter success Photos: RE: Give me 5 for kids Mackay fundraiser - Altair - Wednesday 8-Jun-2016 Great work.

RE: Give me 5 for kids Mackay fundraiser - Gix - Wednesday 8-Jun-2016 Was great fun and such a beautiful North Queensland day - and as they say its not a true troop unless a kid cries - well that happened I think twice. And Nick... you also forgot to mention his own child almost running away from him I think that was even after he poked his face from under the bucket... go figure! The kids and big kids were excited and its the best feeling in the world when a little girl has a photo with you then gives you a big hug!! awww Smiling kids faces is what it's ALL ABOUT This photo sums it all up - photos GALORE - even running dual photos! (I enjoyed this photo way too much LOL) Armour held up very well and even got to test the new Death Star Zero Gravity Training System - all systems go!! We have even got a new cadet out of the day so very positive all round - GREAT WORK MACKAY TROOPERS A BIG THANK YOU TO THE HELPERS "ROSIE" AND "OLD MATE (the other Dave)"!!! AND TO SEAFM MACKAY (Breakfast Announcers Jay and Dave, and their Management) funds are going to our local Mackay and Proserpine Hospitals that are in great need of support and its wonderful to see the local community get behind such local causes, especially in the economic climate that Mackay and districts is experiencing with the economic and mining downturn.
