Why? CCFA Movie Gala Giveaway!

By Jen @ Why CLE?

Going to the movies used to be an event. People would dress up, the theaters were beautiful, and it was considered quite the evening on the town. The Northeast Ohio Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is bringing that feeling back with its Second Annual Movie Gala.

On Thursday, October 25 at 7pm, the classic Capitol Theater in Gordon Square will host this fun event, with tasty food provided by Luxe Kitchen and Lounge, beer and wine, a pop-up raffle, and your choice of classic film to watch. Dress for the evening is “Cocktail Attire,” allowing you to make an evening at the movies into something truly special with fancy clothes, food and adult beverages.

Proceeds from this event benefit the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, which works to improve the lives of those with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and to fund research to find cures for these conditions.

    I think the first movie I saw was Snow White (or at least the one I remember). My mom, sister and I were the only ones in the theater and I went to the front by the screen before the show started and danced around!

    The first movie I really truly remember watching in the theatre was The Land Before Time. And then we went to Pizza Hut and ate our free pizza thanks to the Book-It program and got our Littlefoot hand puppets. Good memories!
