The Jimmy Fund/Variety Children's Charity Theatre Collections Program
Summer 2010
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 Jimmy Fund/Variety Children's Charity 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 2009, movie audience gave nearly more than $750,000 through this longstanding, feel-good community program.
Help us celebrate this more than 60-year tradition by volunteering to collect canister contributions at your participating National Amusements movie theatre.
