My mother has been wondering does the 405th does any charity work in any official compacity with homeless shelters or hospitals? She's aware that people in the 501st does in the US with children's hospitals, wondering if we do anything like that here? She's been wanting me to do something in costume with what I'm currently building to go down my local garage sale Sunday market to raise money for charity or setup some community gaming day at my local entertainment hall centre that can be approved by the local council for charity but also as a way to show my works/network with people in similar fields of interests.
If we don't, I think anyone up the command chain/upper management here in Australia should look into it for the future, maybe co-op with other organizations like 501st in a some capacity for autism awareness, cancer research or food donations, just anything to raise money & awareness as an organization, cosplay for a cause. It's also a great way for advertisement for recruitments & awareness for 405th, do a little more than just meetup at conventions.
