Watch a movie on BC Place's massive screen next month for a great cause

A three-time Oscar-nominated movie is getting the giant screen treatment at BC Place next month, and you can enjoy the film while helping children in need.

Kids Up Front Vancouver, in partnership with BC Place and PavCo, will host its More Than a Movie event on Sunday, May 4.

Families and individuals can purchase tickets to see DreamWorks’ The Wild Robot
 on the world’s second-largest four-sided centre-hung HD video board.

Each ticket purchased includes the admission of a youth from an equity-seeking group to attend for free.

Kids Up Front is a charity that partners with over 90 different child-serving agencies in the Greater Vancouver area to ensure that all children have access to fun experiences.

Donated tickets, classes, and passes to local events go to children of families that face multiple barriers, such as poverty, illness, minority status, newcomers to Canada, and more, and give them a chance to enjoy unique opportunities and events.

“More Than a Movie offers joy, promotes inclusion, builds stronger communities and shares an enriching experience with all in attendance,” said Kids Up Front in a release.

“It is a truly unique opportunity for kids to run on the field at BC Place, play games, hug team mascots, run drills with local sport heroes, and have their face painted.”

Tickets for More Than a Movie are $15 per ticket or $50 for a family pass of four tickets. Each ticket, donated or purchased, includes admission to the movie as well as a hot dog, popcorn, and a fizzy drink.

Several on-field activities are planned for the day, including kicking soccer balls with the Whitecaps, shooting hoops with the Vancouver Bandits, and throwing footballs with the BC Lions and their respective team mascots.

Then sit back and enjoy The Wild Robot, which won nine Annie Awards, including Best Feature.
