| "Letters to God" Movie Premiere - April 9-11, 2010
|
Help find a cure for childhood cancers by buying tickets or sponsoring a showing for the opening weekend of "Letters to God," April 9-11, 2010, through the TeamConnor Cancer Foundation.
Inspired by a true story, "Letters to God" is about how a young boy fighting cancer finds strength and hope through writing letters to God, and in doing so changes the lives of those around him.
TeamConnor is working with the film's producers, who brought us "Fireproof" and "Facing the Giants", to offer tickets to select showings in local theaters with proceeds benefiting The TeamConnor Cancer Foundation. So, in addition to seeing a great film, your money will go to cancer research that could one day save a child's life.
The Movement Letters to God is not just a movie, it is a mission - a mission to show people that through prayer and love, hope is spread. In the movie a little boy dealing with cancer writes letters to God. These letters spread hope to his friends and family. Our hope is that through "Letters to God", people will be inspired to reach out to God in their own way and find the strength to provide hope to those around them. Cancer devastates the lives of so many people...the people who have the disease and the people who love and care for them. Hope is contagious. Help us spread the word! |
"Letters to God" will premiere nationally on April 9, 2010.
You can help by:
* Sponsor a Theater Showing in Your Town - $2,000
* Co-Sponsor a Theater with 4 Other Sponsors - $500 Each
* Co-Sponsor a Theater with 10 Other Sponsors - $200 Each
* Purchase "TeamConnor Tickets" to a Showing - $25 Each
* Help Sell/Distribute " TeamConnor Tickets" to Showings
