501st Legion Suits Up For Jack

Posted on by

A Garrison of the 501st Legion Suits Up for Jack. Houstons Star Garrison and 501st South Texas Squad were the first 501st legion to Suit Up For Jack. The 501st Legion is an organization of Star Wars fans from all over the world that combines costuming with fundraising, charity work, and volunteering. The 501st is known for their charity work. Additionally they are just as well known for their screen accurate costumes. Therefore Star Wars cosplayers around the world strive to have their cosplay approved to the level of admittance to the 501st Legion.

Members of the 501st Legion have given blood in cosplay for Suit Up For Jack in the past. However, the May 4th Star Wars challenge was the first time a group blood donation was done for Suit Up For Jack.

Suit Up For Jack created a world-wide challenge pitting Imperial Star Wars cosplayers against Rebel Legion cosplayers. The challenge was noticed by Houston’s Star Garrison and the South Texas Squad. The two 501st Star Wars groups pushed the Imperial cosplayers to victory in the challenge. Additionally, they won the award for country with the most participants (USA), group with the most first-time donors, and state with the most participants. (TX) The Star Garrison also put Houston on the Suit Up For Jack participation map. When the 501st Legion suits up for Jack, they take it seriously.
