Thanks to both candidates

You have both served in Garrison leadership for some time now in positions where event management is key. What dos your track record say about being able to bring in events and build relationships with organizers?

Good luck to both and thank you to your service to our garrison!

Hello Logan,

Over the past two years, I have secured at least 20 event requests for the Garrison. Most of these have been for charities, hospitals, or community events, including one convention-style gathering.

Specifically, several organizers have re-requested the Garrison due to our ongoing communication, including Duke’s Children’s Hospital, the Fuquay-Varina Police Department, the Fuquay-Varina Duck Duck Jeep Club, The Miracle League, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and Raleigh Retro Gamers.

Here are a few highlights from these partnerships:

– Duke’s Children’s Hospital: After months of coordination in 2025, our debut troop was a success, and they have already expressed interest in seeing us several times in 2026.
– Fuquay-Varina Police Department & Duck Duck Jeep Club: We have supported several fundraising events for the NC Special Olympics as well as general community events.
– The Miracle League: While managing multiple locations was a significant learning curve, we had successful visits in Wilmington, Cary, and Charlotte. All three locations expressed interest in having us return for at least one of their two seasons per year.
– Raleigh-Durham International Airport: Due to our logistics planning and community interaction in 2025, they have re-requested us for May 4th.
– Raleigh Retro Gamers: Following several successful events in 2025, we were one of the first groups invited to their first convention at the Raleigh Convention Center. The CEO is a massive fan of the 501st and values our community engagement.

It was not easy at first, but over the last two years, I have formed strong relationships with these organizations and established a solid connection between them and the Legion. I strive to continue this work by looking for new charities, hospitals, and conventions to support.

I believe my track record demonstrates my ambition and dedication to the Legion’s goals. By bringing the community together through costuming and supporting charitable causes, we fulfill our mission. Furthermore, participating in conventions remains vital as it allows us to connect with people interested in joining our community and learning how to build their own costumes.

Best regards,

Trevor Peters

Oh my I have brought in a bunch of events and I have a lot of new ones coming in as well as bringing back events that have been lost because of bad behavior or people not showing up and me working to get them back. Like Victory Junction camp. I will be posting that one soon or getting us back at Old Salem for Halloween, Fear at the Fort the NC Zoo in Asheboro, photoshoots at different locations, the Light the Night event that got going because my Son Mitch who was battling cancer and I wanted to find a way to help more so I talked to them about setting up a event and the rest is history. Getting the Ronald McDonald house back a couple upcoming blood drives. But I also have to say that getting events can be done by anyone and that being Squad Leader is helping other with events and more. I want to encourage every Trooper to reach out in there community and try to get events that they are passionate about. And when you need help setting them up call me I am here to help.
