DETAILS: On Feb 16, 2022 my two boys ages 7 and 9 lost their father (David Wickham) in an unexpected motorcycle accident 5 minutes from our house. He was a dedicated Star Wars fan and loved sharing Star Wars with our two boys who have been learning all things Star Wars since they were in the womb. David’s favorite day was May the 4th because it was Star Wars day but also because it was his birthday. I would like May to be celebratory and having Star Wars Oregon there would be a game changer. Please consider us. Everyone in attendance is grieving the loss of David. Adults and kids. This would bring everyone joy—something my husband always shared with others.
OTHER DETAILS: We will be celebrating at the Luuwit Park Pavilion from 12-4. We have a reservation and catered lunch you are welcome to. Please join us.
ANYTHING ELSE: Thank you for considering us. I appreciate you and the work that you do.
