3. Sidewalk’s 1st Bad Movie Marathon 🍿
For the first time ever, Sidewalk is hosting a Bad Movie Marathon Fundraiser where seven local “Bad Movie Marathoners” will compete against each other to see who stick it out through the most terrible holiday movies.
The funds raised will help continue some of Sidewalk’s important educational programs including:
- The Sidewalk Youth Board
- Sidewalk EDU
- The shOUT About Youth Program
- The Black Lens Filmmaker Grant
- And their Membership Program
Want to support the marathoners on their quest to conquer some really bad holiday movies? You can donate, purchase a t-shirt or sponsor an item for a marathoner—like a caffeinated beverage or a blanket and pillow—on their site.
When: The event starts December 4 at 7PM and ends when the final marathoner just can’t take another bad holiday film. (According to Sidewalk, the world record is 5+ days…*grabs popcorn*)
Whether you’re heading to a holiday movie at the Alabama Theatre or exploring downtown, add The Pizitz to your list of places to stop by for a delicious bite to eat or something yummy to drink.
