The Boys in the Boat cinema screening - a Blublokes charity fundraiser
Join us for an exciting event at Tivoli Cinema, 32 Lake Street, Cambridge. The Boys in the Boat event is all about raising funds for Blublokes, a fantastic charity to raise prostate cancer awareness .
Ticket includes an exclusive Blublokes supported screening of the new release movie, The Boys in the Boat directed by George Clooney. Special guests Ella Cossill and Logan Ullrich, Rowing NZ Summer Squad members and recent members of University of Washington Rowing will be with us to set the scene with some brief background on the significance of this true story. UW crews became the champions in the USA, winning the gold medal in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as described in the New York Times bestseller The Boys in the Boat.
We have kindly been donated four W sweatshirts by the legendary head coach of the Washington men's rowing team, Michael Callahan, to support Blublokes. Hear how you can be in to win one of these special items.
Mark your calendars and gather your friends for a memorable event at Tivoli Cinema. See you there!
With prostate cancer now the 3rd most prevalent cancer (following lung and bowel cancers) responsible for cancer death in NZ, the urgency in creating awareness amongst the population on the importance of early detection is critical. Prostate cancer is insidious, often not presenting symptoms until well advanced resulting in 700 men in NZ dying from this disease each year. Grandfathers, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and mates.
Blublokes purpose is:
To advance the health and wellbeing of men in NZ by promoting the importance of early detection and prevention of prostate cancer. Funds raised are reinvested into building scale through seed funding initiatives which in turn builds more awareness and more awareness will save more lives! A legacy for Blublokes is generating enough awareness that perhaps prostate cancer research will eventually receive the same level of support from philanthropy and government as the likes of breast cancer, when it comes to support for screening and supporting advances in treatment options.
