The troopers and squires (non-costumed assistants with photos, security, and various other indispensable tasks) who join to form Garrison Carida are people who reach out beyond the bounds of their daily jobs and of their normal responsibilities to volunteer their time and service by participating in charitable work within the local community. The men and women who don the costumes of the various characters of the Star Wars universe, do so with the belief that their activity is beneficial to others as well as satisfactory to themselves. Our success continually depends on the dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm of our members to accomplish our goals of helping with the success of the events that we attend. Our members come from all parts of the community, and include teachers, business professionals, police officers, and more. The members and squires of Garrison Carida volunteer our time based on our passion and dedication to the community and those less fortunate. We aspire to be "Bad guys doing good things."
Our Mission Statement
Garrison Carida, a charity-focused costuming group led by volunteers, will aid in
the success of regional charitable events, community-based events, and public
appearances while having fun and celebrating the continuation of the
Star Wars universe. Our costumes are so professional that it looks like we
stepped off of the movie screen into your event.
Let Us Help With Your Success
Our troopers are always looking for new events with which to participate. If you
feel we can help make your event more successful, please
contact us to set up an
appearance. We endeavor to embody professionalism in our behavior and costumes,
participation in our dedication to beneficial charity-based and community-based
events, integrity in our portrayal of the iconic nefarious characters of
Star Wars, and activity in our continuing commitment to the communities
we serve.
