The project is moving forward!
Just a quick status report.
1. We have been given permission to recast a helmet for the project. We should start casting soon.
2. Talked to Make a Wish and they love this idea and are on board.
3. Lesley F. from the Southern California has agreed to help gather sponsors for some of the funding that we will need.
Thanks everyone! This looks like its going to work out!!!

Project status 8-21-2008
This project is about 2 weeks old. Here are the events I need to work on..
1. 501st - Received permission to continue with the project.
2. Lucasfilm - Email sent for various request.
3. Helmets - John Bush has agreed to donate ALL the helmets.
4. Bases - Damien Metz has agreed to produce the helmet bases.
5. Corporate Sponsors - We will need a few corporate sponsors to help with some shipping and packaging cost. Someone is helping with that.
6. Helpers - Will be looking for a couple helpers to help with some coordination of events.
7. Private donations - We may open to private donation from 501st members to help with the materials and shipping cost.
I do not have a auction date yet. We are looking at doing the auction at C5 and we are in talks with Lucasfilm about that. We will need a lot of time to get all the helmets shipped to our HM's and have them worked on. Once they are done, I will secure the helmets untill the auction.
Please standby for more info...
