What: Benโs Bells promote kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes Tucson better is โbelled.โ
Last weekโs recipient: Joel Trupiano and members of the 501st Legion.

Why: The 501st Legion is a group of volunteers who dress up in full โStar Warsโ gear and attend events in the Tucson area. They let children pose with them and take photos and brighten their lives. They donate a large amount of time to attend childrenโs events in the community. They recently attended events at Childrenโs Museum Tucson, including a Make-A-Wish event for a young child. โThese men and women gave many hours and hours of their time,โ Van Alsburg wrote in her nomination letter.
