"Purple Rain" Fundraiser with A Love for Life

A Love for Life and the historic Newtown Theatre are teaming up to show 1984’s classic “Purple Rain” as a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research on Thursday, November 21 at 7:30 PM.

“Purple Rain” is rated R - must be at least 18 to attend.

For a donation of $20, this special evening will include a screening of the film, one free purple alcoholic drink (non-alcoholic option for those 18-20 years old), and other special surprises. One hundred percent of money raised will support pancreatic cancer research at Penn Medicine.

Purple is the color for pancreatic cancer awareness, and November 21 is World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day.

Founded in 2012, A Love for Life is a non-profit organization that has raised more than $1 million for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little over six months, and A Love for Life is determined to change that.

Released 40 years ago this year, “Purple Rain” tells the story of The Kid (Prince), a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, The Revolution. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, The Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia.

DETAILS

  • Doors open at 7 PM and the film starts at 7:30 PM.

  • For this special fundraiser screening, tickets are purchased by making a donation to A Love for Life. They can be purchased only through the link above or at the door on the night of the event.

The 4:30 Movie (3 PM)

Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story -- set in the summer of 1986 -- that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex.

When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans.

Smith delivers one of his best films in years with The 4:30 Movie, a sweet-natured reverie on the role moviegoing plays in our lives.
