Katie has been undergoing treatment for a severe brain tumor and the family is accepting donations.

Tresob Yr, SWAFT site manager explains:

"I have donated five "actors" from the Star Wars Action Figure Website. So, not only can you make a donation to Katie's family, you can take home a piece of Star Wars memorabilia AND theatre history! Each SWAFT actor will also include a CD containing a home version of SWAFT as well as a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Tresob Yr himself to prove that your action figure did in fact appear in a SWAFT production. The sentimental value alone makes them priceless additions to any collection! Please don't let these hard working performers fall into the hands of anti-theatrical philistines, sadistic customizers, or voodoo witchdoctors!"

Well, even though I take issue with the term "sadistic customizer" (being a customizer myself), take a look at the auctions and see if you can't help out someone in need:

Henry V/Bespin Han Solo
Star Wars Action Figure Theater "Actor" Bespin Han Solo

Dr. Faustus/Grand Moff Tarkin
Star Wars Action Figure Theater "Actor" Moff Tarkin

Aurra Sing/Aurra Sing
Star Wars Action Figure Theater "Actor" Aurra Sing

Pointz/Greedo
Star Wars Action Figure Theater "Actor" Greedo

Bushy/Lobot
Star Wars Action Figure Theater "Actor" Lobot
