Film.Ca Cinemas is rallying its community to help support those affected by the devastating wildfires in California, which have displaced thousands of families and impacted countless members of the film and entertainment industry.
The cinema is launching a fundraising initiative to aid in relief efforts through the Entertainment Community Fund, a nonprofit organization providing essential support and financial assistance to individuals in the entertainment industry impacted by the wildfires.
As part of this initiative, Film.Ca Cinemas is offering three ways for guests to contribute:
Round-Up at the Snack Bar – Guests will be invited to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar when buying snacks at concessions. The difference will be donated to the Entertainment Community Fund.
Special Screening of The Wizard of Oz – On Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 7:30 p.m., Film.Ca Cinemas will host a special screening of the beloved classic The Wizard of Oz as part of its Classic Screening Series. Net proceeds from the ticket sales will be also donated to the Entertainment Community Fund.
Direct Donation – Those wishing to donate directly are encouraged to do so on the official website.
“The film and entertainment industry is like a family.” said Jeff Knoll, CEO of Film.Ca Cinemas “When disaster strikes, it’s important for communities to come together and support one another. We wanted to do something meaningful to help, and donating to the Entertainment Community Fund allows us to directly support those in our industry who need it most.”
Tickets for the special screening of The Wizard of Oz are $10.00 a seat (including taxes) and are available now online here.
The Entertainment Community Fund provides a wide range of services to help entertainment professionals in times of crisis. Your generous support will help ensure health and wellness, career and life, and housing services for those working in performing arts and entertainment. Learn more about their efforts at
