Summer 2009

Team up with the Jimmy Fund on a fun volunteer project this summer — the 2008 Jimmy Fund/Variety Childrens Charity Theatre Collections Program.

Each summer since the Theatre Collections Program started in 1949, participating Showcase Cinemas movie theaters show a Jimmy Fund trailer before the feature film begins. Then, volunteers and theatre personnel invite patrons to contribute to the Jimmy Fund by passing around canisters. In 2007, movie audiences gave more than $650,000.
