This Free Classic Movie Night Helps Idaho Families in Crisis and You’re Invited
HEY YOU GUYS! You already know that we're your home for the best variety of the ‘80s, ‘90s and today…but on August 21? We’re really embracing the era of big movies and even bigger hair!
We’re teaming up with Maya and her incredible team at the Terrace Drive-In in Caldwell for Goonies for Good! This is a special one-night-only screening of the 1985 classic The Goonies where the “price” of admission is something that will make a real difference for families in the Treasure Valley who could use a little hand-up during one of the most difficult seasons of their life.
See The Goonies For FREE With a Donation to the Trauma Intervention Program of Treasure Valley
We’re using our screening of The Goonies to help collect donations for the Treasure Valley’s Trauma Intervention Program (TIP). This incredible non-profit is made up of volunteers who are often one of the first friendly faces Idahoans will see after a traumatic event.
After receiving the call from law enforcement, a fire department or hospital, TIP’s volunteers show up to provide emotional support to people who’ve just experienced something they were totally unprepared for. These traumatic events include everything from being involved in a motor vehicle accident or surviving a fire to experiencing the unexpected death of a loved one or being the victim of a violent crime like rape, assault or robbery.
Sometimes that means quietly offering emotional support when friends and family aren’t able to or helping notify loved ones of what’s happened. Other times, that means connecting people to resources like shelter, food, clothing and transportation.
When children are involved, TIP volunteers shield them from on-scene dangers and provide comfort items like stuffed animals, coloring books or fidget toys.
