A Tradition of Fun & Film Philanthropy

"For years, we’ve had such amazing crowds at these events, and we are looking forward to creating another memorable evening of film and fun for them,” said Rob Waters, one of the founders of Revival House. “Plus, every year we are able to give back to the workers at Beebe Hospital,"
Revival House co-founder Rob Rector added, "This event is all about celebrating our community and supporting a vital local institution and having fun being a kid again."
