LAWRENCEVILLE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB KIDS READY TO BOARD THE REGAL SUMMER MOVIE EXPRESS

Regal Entertainment Group Gives Club Members an Opportunity to Beat Summer Brain Drain by Combining Movie Fun with Summer Learning

ATLANTA- September 12, 2013 – As part of Regal Entertainment Group’s Summer Movie Express, Regal is treating Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club youth to enjoy blockbuster hits while also engaging their brains. Through a partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Regal Entertainment Group is providing the Club with a grant to help cover expenses like transportation and snacks for Club members.

All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer, according to the National Summer Learning Association. Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club is receiving one of 80 grants that will be awarded this summer by Regal Entertainment Group to help local kids experience summer fun with a learning purpose.

As part of the initiative, Regal Snellville Oaks Stadium 14 located in Snellville will offer Club members $1 admission to a predetermined G or PG rated movie.

Through their participation in the Regal Summer Movie Express program, Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club of will also implement at least two learning encounters that incorporate the Regal experience. The Club will select from such activities as establishing a book club to read a movie themed book, adapting their own screen play based on the movie to visiting local landmarks after viewing to a film.

“Regal Entertainment Group is proud to partner with local Boys & Girls Clubs through these grants to cover their costs such as transportation,” said Ken Thewes Chief Marketing Officer for Regal Entertainment Group. “Regal believes that this summertime series for kids helps to instill a love of movie-going and inspires the imagination of the next generation.”

“This is a great opportunity for our Boys & Girls Club members, and they couldn’t be more excited about being selected for Regal Entertainment Group’s Summer Movie Express,” said Rory Johnson, Executive Director at Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club. “Our Club is extremely active during the summer season, so we’re always grateful for opportunities that combine fun with engaging learning activities that help our young people stimulate their minds during the summer break.”
