My first assignment is to write an informative paper, informing people about an organization or group that I am involved in. While I'm not officially a member, yet. I do want to inform people about the 501st, the Rebel Legion, MandoMercs, and Dark Empire and all the good that they do and the charities they contribute to.
Since the 501st and Rebel Legion are not 501(c) Non-profits, but instead raise money for charities at their events and do all of their work on a volunteer basis and do not charge fees; there are not any accounting documents that I could reference for money raised. I would like to be able to have accurate up to date information on the amount of money raised and specific charities that it is done for. I've searched through some articles about the 501st, and gotten information about the 501st and their charities from the 501st.com website. It had the total accumulated for charities in 2013, and I was curious if there is any information that is more up to date. I was also wondering if the 501st counts the amount raised for all the groups, or just the 501st. I ask this because the Rebel Legion page did not have a number that I could find and a lot of times the groups will work together and do events together, though not all the time.
Mostly I'm looking for any additional links that may be available that I could not find on my own, and thought I would reach out here. If the post is inappropriate admins please go ahead and remove it and I apologize for any inconvenience.
