10-12-16 IL Chicago – GE Managers Team Building Meeting

Post by RulerMaul »

I was contacted by Wade Brown (my boss's boss) and asked if we could attend his managers meeting. Wade is a big Star Wars fan and loves what the 501st does! He even suited up in my ANH TIE Pilot and had a blast surprising his employees! I worked closely with his Senior Administrator to setup the details of our involvement and charitable contribution.

We were a huge hit at the meeting and interacted with all of the managers while they were building bicycles and scooters. The 7 teams each built a bicycle and a scooter. In the end, GE donated the 7 Diamond Back bicycles, 7 scooters and 14 Darth Vader helmets to West Town Bikes.

The total donation amount was approximately $4500.00
They also presented me with a Black Series TK bucket ($80.00) to give away at an event of our choice. This will likely go to C2E2, 2017.
As an additional thank you to us troopers, they also gave us each one of their custom event shirts.

Thank you to all that trooped this one and helped make it a great success!!
