Jimmy Fund/Variety Children's Charity Theatre Collections Program
June 12 – July 26, 2009
Friday through Sunday only
Collecting Hope and Fighting Cancer since 1949
Hit the big screens and help fight cancer with the Jimmy Fund's longest-running fundraiser.
Each summer since the Theatre Collections Program started in 1949, participating movie theaters have shown a Jimmy Fund "trailer" before the start of a feature film. Afterward, volunteers and theatre personnel invite patrons to contribute to the Jimmy Fund by passing around collection canisters.
In 2008, movie audiences gave nearly $650,000 through this longstanding, feel-good community program.
Help us celebrate this 60-year tradition by volunteering to collect canister contributions at your participating National Amusements movie theatre.
Volunteers are needed each weekend between June 12 – July 26, Friday through Sunday, during a range of four-hour shifts at your local movie theatre.
Volunteer Incentives:
- Volunteer for one (1) 4-hour shift and receive a Jimmy Fund T-shirt.
- Volunteer for two (2) 4-hour shifts and receive two complimentary National Amusements movie passes, to be used on another date.
- Volunteer for four (4) 4-hour shifts and receive a blue Jimmy Fund Koozie Cooler.
- Volunteer for eight (8) 4-hour shifts and you will be entered into a drawing for your choice of:
- Two tickets to the New England Patriots pre-season home game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, August 20, 2009
- Two round-trip American Airlines tickets to anywhere in the Continental 48 United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas
- Volunteers who commit to twelve (12) 4-hour shifts will be invited with a guest to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park (game date and date TBD).
