Friends of the Pink Force USA
The Star Wars community is as big as a galaxy far, far away. Here are some friends of KT worth checking out.
R2-KT
The Pink Imperial Droid with the Heart of Gold.
Built by the R2 Builders as a gift for Katie, the droid was her constant companion as she battled brain cancer. Today the droid is on a mission to spread awareness of pediatric illnesses, partner with charities to make a difference, and help spread the magic of hope.
The Pink Force Foundation is our parent organization based in Europe, whose goal is to bring joy and hope to sick children. Their aim is to raise their spirits, encourage and help them during their hospital stay, creating magical moments in their encounters with our droid R2-KT. The Pink Force Foundation works with all the major Star Wars costuming groups and the R2-KT Ambassadroids to support organizations that serve families and patients of different pathologies.

The mission of The Rebel Legion is threefold. First, we offer the costume enthusiasts of the Star Wars hero characters a global community to enjoy, express, and share their costume talents. Secondly, the Legion also promotes the quality and improvement of Star Wars costumes. Thirdly and most importantly, we follow the lead of Lucasfilm Ltd. by giving back to the community through works of charity and volunteerism. rebellegion.com/
