From Article I of our Legion Charter:

;"...The Legion is an all-volunteer organization formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts under a collective identity within which to operate. The Legion seeks to promote interest in Star Wars through the building and wearing of quality costumes, and to facilitate the use of these costumes for Star Wars -related events as well as contributions to the local community through costumed charity and volunteer work..."

• Star Wars
  While a growing number of people are experiencing a reawakening of their Star Wars fandom, new generations are seeking ways to celebrate their passion for George Lucas's modern mythology. The 501st Legion brings these fans together, reinforcing the enduring longevity of the Star Wars saga.
• Charity
  While our organization was founded to simply provide a collective identity for costuming fans with similar interests, the 501st is proud to put its resources to good use through fundraising, charity work, and volunteerism.
• Costuming
  Some fans are content to collect action figures...other fans want to be action figures. Nothing professes your passion quite like building your own detailed costume replica of a classic Star Wars villain, and there's nothing quite like the feeling that comes from bringing the characters of Star Wars into the real world and sharing the magic with others.

• Do you do birthday parties?
  We strongly prefer to not participate in birthday parties. Typically birthday parties are in homes or other close quarter areas, children are extremely excited and rambunctious, and we are not "entertainers". All of which makes environments non-condusive to our members participation. However, that being said. Click here to contact us for information about attending your event. We respectfully request a minimum of two weeks to plan for an event and prefer 8+ weeks in order to have maximum participation.
