Shore Leave Blood Drive

So much swag!
We're excited to welcome the Red Cross back to Shore Leave! Be a hero and help save lives by donating blood. The Red Cross will be on-site Saturday 9 am to 2pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but we encourage you to schedule an appointment in advance at RedCrossBlood.org using the code: STAT. |
If you can’t donate at the convention, you can still take part through our Virtual Blood Drive. Donate at a location and time that works best for you—just use the Virtual Blood Donation link to sign up. |
Plus, all participants will receive a pair of stylish red goodr sunglasses! Virtual donors are also eligible if they donate between July 1st and 14th. |

Kids Programming at Shore Leave

Come to the Kids Side!
Shore Leave has fantastic activities planned for kids of all ages—not just for the little Siths, but for the Teen Jedis too! Younglings (ages 4–12) won't want to miss the Friday Night Dance Party and Movie Watch Party!
At the same time, Teen Jedis will have their own chill zone—a quiet spot to relax, escape the crowds, and maybe even meet other Padawans their age.
Got School Supplies?

Cause everyone can chip in!
Shore Leave is proud to support our local teachers. To help them, we're collecting school supplies. Many people don’t realize that teachers often buy supplies for their students out of their own pockets. Visit our website for details.
