This weekend the Arizona Ghostbusters participated in our third local MS Walk. The MS Walk was our first major charity event when we started out back in 2007 and has always been very special to us. We have formed a very close relationship with the organization and help them when we can. We have been raising money for the walk during several of our last events. On Friday November 6th, 2009 we hosted a fundraising booth again at the 1st Friday Art Walk in downtown Phoenix. This was also the first time we brought the Ecto-AZ to the event. The car was an instant hit with the crowds. Thanks to a new set up at the event the street infront of our booth was closed to host artist booths which helped improve traffic flow. Many talked with us about the Phoenix New Times article on us that came out last week.
On Saturday November 7th, was the walk itself. The walk was 5 miles around the Phoenix Zoo, Botanical Gardens and surrounding park. This is the longest walk we participate in and completed it in full gear as always. We set our booth up to collect some last minute donations and handed out our custom MS buttons. Our local 501st Stormtrooper Garrison was on hand as well celebrating their 10th year participating in the walk. Due to a power failure at the walk area, we were able to lend a helping hand by pulling the Ecto up to the starting line and allowing the walk organizers to use the cars built in loudspeakers to make their announcements. We raised $1000 total in donations and is the most we've been able to raise for a single walk in along time. As a thanks to our participation over the years, our logo was placed on the back of the official walk shirts. Friday and Saturday were a blast and as always we can't wait till next year's walk.

Nice Job yet AGAIN Jeff dude, you are really a hit out there, then you got Capt Planet on the damn Garbage can lol, havent seen him in years and man do i wish i had the patients, money and know how to build one of them damn proton packs, id be in heaven lol, nice Job again Jeff

Thanks. Yeah seeing him was a blast from the past. My girlfriend believes the absence of Captain Planet has been the sole reason for the increase in global warming.

Wow those are awesome. We've been wanting to make some stuff like that for awhile. We're hoping to get all the unused photos from the shoots for the big article on us. We did the GB1 movie poster pose that was supposed to be on the cover but wasn't for some reason.

even with the photos your taken you can make great things.

Just realized I forgot to put a pick up of the walk shirt:

Here's some more good pics I got from the walk. The pic of the crowd around the car is my new favorite picture. Really looks like we're savin' the day. Apparently I was explaining something Finish Line

The pic wit the crowd around the car looks like GB 1 just after the battle with Zuul on Danas apartment building
