Join us and celebrate the halfway mark to St. Patrick’s Day! Help drive awareness during September in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day falls on September 14. It is a celebration of being a half a year closer to all the St. Patrick’s Day festivities and the core season for St. Baldrick’s signature head-shaving events.

Festivities start at 4PM
Whiskey Tastings & Raffles
The 501st Legion Empire City Garrison will be there, get your photo with Darth Vader and some of his loyal stormtroopers.
For September, we don’t need to shave heads to make an impact in the lives of kids with cancer. Instead, folks can enjoy a drink – and some delicious food - at their favorite bar/pub, make some new friends, and raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research. It’s a ripple effect that can change the world.
Never underestimate the impact one person can have. St. Baldrick's started as a grassroots effort, driven by individuals who believed in helping kids with cancer. Today, we stand as the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants in the U.S. Each head shaved, each dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of hope and progress. We hope you’ll join us to create the next wave of cures for kids with cancer.
*The 501st Legion is an all-volunteer organization formed to bring together costume enthusiasts under a collective identity within which to operate. The 501st Legion seeks to promote interest in Star Wars through the building and wearing of quality costumes, and to facilitate the use of these costumes for Star Wars-related events as well as contributions to the local community through costumed charity and volunteer work.
The Empire City Garrison, or ECG, is a New York Chapter of the 501st Legion. Formed in 1999, we are proud to be one of the original garrisons of this definitive Star Wars © costuming organization.
