WEHRENBERG THEATRES & THE SALVATION ARMY Present the 2014 CANS FILM FESTIVAL December 6th

Wehrenberg Theatres will once again host its annual “Cans Film Festival” to benefit The Salvation Army’s “Tree of Lights” campaign. Saturday, December 6^th, guests who bring five canned food items to any Wehrenberg Theatre will receive free admission to a movie that day starting before 5 PM.

Guests who bring an additional ten cans or more per person (15 or more total per person) will also receive a free movie pass for a future visit. In addition, Wehrenberg Theatres will again award a year-long movie pass to the single largest donation received in the theatre circuit. St. Clair 10 Cine in Fairview Heights, IL has a change this year. The sub-run theatre will offer admission for just three cans of food! (Ten additional will still get a pass for a future visit as well.)

Cans Film Festival, the area’s most popular food drive, stocks the local food pantries every year during the holiday season when those less fortunate need it most. 2013 nearly matched the 2011 record of over 335,000 canned food items during the one-day event. The 2013 campaign was just under that total with 330,000 cans, but organizers hope to set a new record this year. The circuit-wide goal is 400,000 cans!

A number of Hollywood hits will be showcased during Cans Film Festival, plus Wehrenberg Theatres is bringing back some holiday favorites for guests. Both The Polar Express and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will return Saturday exclusively for Cans Film Festival!

Guests at St. Charles 18 Cine can also experience the luxury and comfort of Suite Seats, auditoriums boasting heated leather recliners.
