Dance like a Wookiee!

Every year, students at the University of Michigan host a 30-hour dance-a-thon fundraiser for CS Mott Children's Hospital.  Having attended this event 2 years ago, members of the Great Lakes Base and Great Lakes Garrison were invited back this year as well.  Our mission was a simple one -- arrive early Sunday morning to help energize the participants who had been up and active all through the night.  If that's the job, who better to send the the Wookiee (with a little help from a couple Stormtroopers).  Chewie danced with the crowd and posed for tons of pics.

The event raised OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS for the hospital!  We were pleased and honored to be a small part of the fun.
