Each year, KidsOutAndAbout surveys thousands of readers in the area to find the best things to do with kids, teens, and families. It's a big deal for the organizations, because those who make the Top 20 get extra exposure to hundreds of thousands of readers. So show your love and vote for the Gem, and tell your friends to do the same! The survey will take about 3 minutes, and you'll have the opportunity to enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card. This year, voting is May 17-June 16, 2019.
Gem Theatre owner Steve Morris has stepped up BIG and is committing to raise $10,000 for breast cancer research. He has been touched by both cancer survivors but also people who have lost their battle with this disease. Would love to have our loyal customers make a donation of any kind to support his effort.
Real Men Wear Pink was born out of a desire for men to have a unique way to help in the fight against breast cancer. Real Men Wear Pink gives communities the opportunity to nominate local male leaders to spearhead fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society's breast cancer initiatives.
These initiatives include promoting early detection and prevention, funding groundbreaking research, and giving patients support wherever and whenever they need it. Because of the passion of supporters like you, Real Men Wear Pink is helping to save more lives from breast cancer.
