Our Missions

The 501st Legion is a 100% volunteer organization. We do not charge a traditional fee for our appearances. Instead, we ask event organizers for a donation. All funds we receive are collected and given directly to recognized charities. Our goal is to use our Star Wars costumes to raise money for worthy causes and bring joy to the local community.

Charity Events & Fundraisers

From charity walks to donation drives, the presence of the Empire is a proven way to draw crowds, increase engagement, and boost your fundraising goals. We partner with local Icelandic charities to help them maximize their impact.

Hospital Visits

Sometimes the best medicine is a visit from a galaxy far, far away. Our troopers frequently visit children's wards and care facilities to bring smiles to those going through tough times. We work closely with hospital staff to ensure safe, controlled, and memorable interactions.
