Garrison News
Another Successful Fundraiser!
By Flash on May 13, 2012 at 3:17 PM.
On May 12th, the GLG trooped at the 2nd Annual MDA Fundraiser at Big Ben's Comix Oasis. Stormtroopers, R2-D2, Captain America, Tinkerbell, G.I. Joes, and several other superheroes showed up to greet customers. Thanks to a raffle with dozens of prizes, character sketches by artists Scott Zambelli & Laura Laurain, and a portion of the store's sales for the day; over $3,000 was raised for research toward finding a cure for spinal muscular atrophy!

A special thanks :)

We would like to thank MJR Digital Cinemas for hosting a great event in Westland 2/12. In addition to hosting, they gave a generous donation of $1,000.00 to the Make a Wish foundation. An additional $237.00 was donated by the guests for a grand total of $1237.00. We look forward to doing another event with you next year.

Happy New Year!
