How to pass multiple values from controller to view

I have a form which has many dropdowns which a populated from different tables when creating and editing the record here is the code

<?php

class ParticipantController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     */
    public function create(Participant $participant)
    {
        $this->authorize('create',$participant);

        $events = Event::get_name_and_id();
        $wards =Ward::get_name_and_id();
        $individuals = Individual::get_name_and_id();
        $organizations = Organization::get_name_and_id();
        $roles = ParticipantRole::get_name_and_id();
        $groups = Group::get_name_and_id();

        return view('participants.create', compact('events','wards','individuals','organizations','participant','roles','groups'));
    }


    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     */
    public function edit(Participant $participant)
    {
        $events = Event::get_name_and_id();
        $wards =Ward::get_name_and_id();
        $individuals = Individual::get_name_and_id();
        $organizations = Organization::get_name_and_id();
        $roles = ParticipantRole::get_name_and_id();
        $groups = Group::get_name_and_id();

        return view('participants.edit', compact('events','wards','individuals','organizations','participant','roles','groups'));
    }

}

Ass you can see from the code the form is getting data from 6 tables as dropdowns, here is how managed to do it. It is working fine but it's too much to read and understand

You may refactor redundant code in separate method like

class ParticipantController extends Controller
{

    public function populate($function_name, $participant) {
      $events = Event::get_name_and_id();
      $wards =Ward::get_name_and_id();
      $individuals = Individual::get_name_and_id();
      $organizations = Organization::get_name_and_id();
      $roles = ParticipantRole::get_name_and_id();
      $groups = Group::get_name_and_id();

      $data = compact('events','wards','individuals','organizations','roles' ,'groups', 'participant');
      return view('participants.' . $function_name , $data);
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     */
    public function create(Participant $participant) {

        $this->authorize('create',$participant);
        return $this->populate(__FUNCTION__, $participant);
    }


    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     */
    public function edit(Participant $participant) {

       return $this->populate(__FUNCTION__, $participant);
    }

}
