Father's Day, don't give dad a boring necktie. Give him what he really
wants – a
Boba Fett lapel pin!
First announced during
Memorial Day weekend, the Washington DC Metro Area
Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC) announces their third bi-annual charity
lapel pin is still available, but in dwindling numbers.
The 2008 pin features animated Boba Fett with DCSWCC's signature Washington
Monument as his rocket, in honor of the 30th anniversary of his appearance
in The Star Wars Holiday Special. Third in DCSWCC's series of high-quality
cloisonne lapel pins, officially sanctioned by Lucasfilm Ltd., each pin is
individually stamped and numbered on the back. Only 1000 will ever be made.
All proceeds from the sales of this pin benefit the Aluminum Cans for Burned
Children Program, whose mission is to prevent burns and improve the quality
of life for young burn survivors and their families in the Mid-Atlantic
region. ACBC provides funding for research, annual therapeutic residential
burn camps, and other year-round activities that support their physical,
psychological, and social needs. For more information about ACBC, visit
their website at http://acbcprogram.org.
DCSWCC has a rich history of supporting children's charities in the
Washington DC region. Their previous charity pins featured Yoda and
Chewbacca, and netted almost $10,000 for DC Children's Hospital and The
Children's Inn at NIH.
