1st Friday Artwalk MDA Fundraiser Booth 3/5/2010
On Friday March 5th, 2010, the Arizona Ghostbusters hosted a fundraising booth for the
upcoming Muscular Dystrophy Assocation (Jerry's Kids) Stride and Ride we're participating in on March 27th. This was done
by selling shamrocks for photos with our team. Our booth was at the monthly 1st Friday Art Walk in downtown Phoenix.
Later in the evening Haley and her family stopped by in uniform to hang out with us for awhile before they leave town. Chuck
loaned her his RGB pack for the evening. I believe she posed for more photos than we did. The local comic con was having a
promotional cosplay event down the street so we were frequented by many other costumers throughout the evening. Kate Flannery,
star of "The Office" as Meridith Palmer, stopped by to say hello as well.
The Art Walk is one of our
favorite and regular events. We have definitely become a mainstay at it. It was a blast as always. We raised just under $200
for the MDA.

Phoenix Heart Walk 2/27/2010
On Saturday, February 27, 2010, the Arizona Ghostbusters
participated in their 3rd Phoenix Heart Walk for the American Heart Association. The Heart Walk is one of the biggest charity
walks in the Phoenix in terms of attendance. The walk is 4 miles around Tempe Town Lake near the ASU campus. We had 6 busters
and 4 walkers on our team. There was rain in the forecast for a change but luckily it passed and the weather turned out perfect
for a walk. We had a great response from our fellow walkers and encountered a record number of children recognizing Ghostbusters
which is always a good sign. As always we can't wait till next years walk.
At the end of the walk we were paid
a special visit by Amanda and her daughter Haley. It was an honor to meet Haley and her mom. Haley is one of the biggest little
fans out there and really knows her stuff. They are in town visiting family and got in touch to stop by the walk to meet us.
As a surprise for Haley, we gave her the first of our new raffle items we plan to use, which is a Tootsie-Roll style "Portable
Containment Unit" bank made by a friend of ours. The future of Ghostbusters is in safe hands for sure.
