On November 20, the band will perform on the deck of the USS Midway at the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Family Day in San Diego. Four days later, Imperial Stars will be back in Los Angeles to play a concert and sponsor meals for area homeless youth at the Union Rescue Mission. Then on December 10, the group will host a benefit concert at Hollywood's Highlands venue, during which they will play a headlining set and present a donation check to various aid organizations.

"We're putting our money where our mouth is," said Christopher Wright of Imperial Stars. "So far we've raised $30,000 and more is coming in every day. The holidays are especially tough on impoverished and homeless kids, so we're looking to help in any way we can, and hope that people nationwide open up their hearts and wallets too."
