Boys & Girls Clubs of America and St. Jude Children’s Hospital
Both Benefit
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 31, 2012--
Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture
exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United
States, announces the Regal Straw Vote. This election is a friendly
competition where moviegoers make their vote count by choosing a flavor
of frozen drink. Regal is donating 50 cents for every medium and large
frozen drink sold during August. Sales of cherry drinks support St. Jude
Children’s Hospital while all other flavors benefit Boys and Girls Clubs
of America. Regal has a long history of investing in American charities
and through the Regal Straw Vote moviegoers are also showing their
support.
“Throughout August Regal Entertainment Group theatres are a popular
place to take a break from the summer sun. And when you buy a big frozen
drink, your trip to the movies is even sweeter knowing that you’ve
helped a great charity at the same time,” stated Russ Nunley, Vice
President of Marketing and Communications. “With this fun and innovative
Straw Vote, Regal and our employees are filled with American pride while
making a campaign promise to help kids all across the USA through these
charities.”
Boys and Girls Clubs of America and St. Jude Children’s Hospital are
mobilizing their friends, fans and followers to show support by choosing
the appropriate flavor of frozen drink at Regal Cinemas, United Artists
and Edwards Theatres during August. Through this cause marketing
campaign Regal will donate up to $600,000 in total contributions. To
find election results and to cheer for a favorite charity, go to Regal’s
Facebook page where weekly updates and vote totals will be posted. To
