Stephen Stanton will be signing autographs at the 501st Admirals Lounge Celebration Bash on Friday, April 17th from 7:30-9pm at the Anaheim Marriott Platinum Ballroom.  Fans can participate in this rare signing opportunity by making a donation to the Starlight Children's Foundation.  Tickets for the Bash can be purchased HERE.

I attended the 501st Imperial Bash during Celebration CVI and it was truly a highlight of the week. Here are a few of my favorite moments from the party.

I didn't need another excuse to attend the Bash this time around, but if I had, Stephen Stanton would have given me just that.  Any time I can add a Star Wars autograph to my collection and help raise money to make the life of a child a little brighter I call that a great day.  Here's the information from the 501st Bash ticket ordering Eventbrite page.

"Stephen Stanton, the talented voice actor known throughout the ‪#‎StarWars‬ community as Grand Moff Tarkin and many other characters will be there. He'll be raising funds and awareness for the Starlight Childrens Foundation (http://bit.ly/17OA3vd) signing the newly released Official Pix 'Grand Moff Tarkin' images or your personal item for any donation made toward the charity during the Bash!"

"All donations will be matched up to the first $2,000.00 by Stephen and his friends!"

"Be sure to get to the 501st Bash on April 17th between the hours of 7:30 and 9 PM to meet Stephen, make a donation, and get your personalized autographs and at the same time help make a difference in a child’s life!"

The following post dated February 13th from the Offiicial Stephen Stanton Facebook Page gives us a glimpse of what he may be signing during the Bash.

"UPDATE: Official Pix just posted the first six ‪#‎StarWarsRebels‬ Tarkin pics from the episode "Call To Action" – Now available in their online store! smile emoticon I'll be signing these at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim for Charity…"
