Heroes Alliance Texas has had a busy few months, with their "Lonestar Lantern" team attending a variety of events themed around the Green Lantern movie premiere!
During all of the Lantern festivities, Heroes Alliance Texas collected donations for CASA, their charity of choice, whom they supported during last September's 5k run.
For the first event, Brad and his team worked with their local partner, Tribe Comics, for Free Comic Book Day. The Lonestar Lanterns made their debut, posing near the gorgeous new Oa display that they designed.
The team also attended Houston's Comicpalooza and San Antonio Comic Con, meeting up with Heroes Alliance friend and Superman costumer, Alex Rae. He and Charlee Chartrand were a great help to the team as both Green Lanterns and Superman, really promoting the fundraising efforts.
Finally, it was back to Tribe Comics for the Green Lantern premiere party! The team came up with a three-part, green-themed, fundraising strategy:
1. A silent auction, featuring arts and crafts from local creators
2. A raffle drawing of merchandise donated by various retailers including Green Lantern DVDs, action figures and graphic novels
3. And a generous donation by Tribe of ten percent of the days profits
Of course, power rings need to recharge every 24 hours, but the attendees and volunteers require an energy boost a bit more frequently. So, Brad decided to whip up some cake!
The events were a great success, not only for HA Texas' Lonestar Lanterns, but for their supported charity, CASA. The fundraising efforts raised over $500! Great work, team!
