Sierra Theaters to donate funds to fire victims

After devastating fires have affected so many in Northern California, including  Nevada County, Sierra Theaters is stepping forward this weekend to help with the recovery.

Sierra Theaters, which includes Sierra Cinemas on East Main Street, Del Oro Theatre in downtown Grass Valley, and Sutton Cinemas on Sutton Way in the Brunswick Basin, will donate 5 percent of the weekend’s Box Office to the Salvation Army in support of their relief efforts for those affected by the fires locally.

The theaters are timing this fundraiser to coincide with the opening of the film, “Only the Brave” at Sierra Cinemas. “Only the Brave,” based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, is the heroic story of one unit of local firefighters who through hope, determination, sacrifice, and the drive to protect families, communities, and our country, become one of the most elite firefighting teams in the country.

As most of us run from danger, they run toward it: They watch over our lives, our homes, everything we hold dear, as they forge a unique brotherhood that comes into focus with one fateful fire.

The film opens Friday at Sierra Cinemas, but the fundraiser will include all the regularly scheduled movies showing Friday – Sunday in Grass Valley. This weekend, your ticket purchase contributes to a greater cause, as we all work together to rebuild our community. For showtimes, visit www.sierratheaters.com.
