The Grand Theatre 16 Slidell, managed by Southern Theatres, L.L.C., announces the start of the first annual “Cans for a Cause” food drive, benefitting Second Harvest. From October 19th to November 19th, a specially-marked donation station will be set up in the lobby of the Grand theatre for customers to drop off non-perishable and canned goods. As a special thank you, for every 10 cans donated, the guest will receive a coupon for one free small Reel Rewards popcorn. As a thank you to those most generous, the largest single donation of 300 or more cans will be entered to win a Season Pass, good for free admission to the Grand Theatre during all of 2013.

“We look forward to receiving many donations during the next month and are happy to help those in need,” said Ronald Krueger II, COO of Southern Theatres, L.L.C. “Going to the movies and giving back will go hand-in-hand this holiday season.”

The Grand Theatre is a state-of-the-art facility featuring stadium seating, digital sound, 3D presentations, high-back rocker seats, a specialty café and a game room. Grand Theatre patrons enjoy the latest technologies and amenities available–a signature trademark of Southern Theatres’ first-class customer service and entertainment experience.
