Mile… Mile & A Half - Tickets now AVAILABLE

Tickets are on sale for the fundraiser I've been waiting a long time for! I've wanted to see Mile… Mile & A Half for many months but missed out on a showing nearby and then never really had a reason to host it myself. Until now!

With help from Tugg, Mile… Mile & A Half will be screened on May 7th at 6:30pm at Cinemark Movies 5 in Woodland, CA. Here's a bit more information:

To see the entire event page and to reserve tickets, please go to http://www.tugg.com/events/8701.

The way the Tugg system works is that I need to sell 79 tickets in order for the event to happen at all. Of course there are a limited number of tickets based on the size of the theatre but I'm not too worried about that at this point.

Also, the producers of Mile… Mile & A Half are donating DVDs and posters of the film for us to raffle. So if you like the movie, perhaps you'll win a copy. We will also be giving out postcards with discounts to the Muir Project store so you can buy your own discounted copy of the movie if you don't win.

Cinemark Movies 5 is located at 1579 A East Street, Woodland, CA. Yolobuses 42A and 42B drop off  right there in the parking lot of the theatre, which is part of the County Fair Mall. Riding the bus is $2 and the times work out well.

Those of you who live in Davis and are thinking, "But we have 3 perfectly good theaters here! Why didn't you use one of those?" The answer to that is that the Cinemark in Woodland has chosen to be part of the Tugg network. I haven't a clue what goes into being part of the network so I can't make any judgments on the situation. Suffice to say that I did list Davis theaters first in my request but they just can't be considered at this time.

If you are reading this and you're thinking, "Hey! I don't even live in California, why the heck am I reading this far into this blog?" Well, it's probably because you would like to buy a few tickets and gift them to people who otherwise would not be able to see the movie. Once the 79 tickets are reserved, you will receive your tickets and you can just send them to me to distribute.

If you are reading this and you would like to see the movie but can't afford the $11, please send me a message and I'll will put you on the list to receive the tickets generously donated by others. I would love to have you attend!

Finally, a little more about the ticket prices. They are $11 each. Five percent of that $11 (55¢) will be donated to Big City Mountaineering as part of my Summit for Someone fundraising. When I sell 100 tickets, that will be $55. As I've always said in my physical fundraising, ANY amount helps! Seriously, $55 goes a long way in getting a youth out into the wilderness!

If you are someone who likes detail or you are thinking about using Tugg and have some questions, please know that you are welcome to contact me! I'm having a blast with this project and enjoy any opportunity to talk with others about it!

Please donate to give urban youth the option of the outdoors:
