***********************************************
Shang-Chi is the first-ever Marvel film starring Asian heroes, made by Asian filmmakers and celebrating Asian culture. It is an exciting moment for the Asian community, and moreover, it's hugely important that all children be given the chance to watch this film.

So What Else  is joining the #ShangChi Challenge on GoFundMe along with our friends at Gold House for #GOLDOPEN to help send Youth in our community to go see the movie.

Every child deserves to feel seen. They deserve to see themselves represented on screen as strong, worthy, and as the superheroes that they are! Proper representation of different cultures is critically important for all children so that they understand that people of all colors and backgrounds are to be embraced and valued. The release of a blockbuster film like Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has the opportunity to make a powerful impact on the way that children view superheroes.

Please consider donating for even one kid to see diverse representation on the big screen.

Cost breakdown:

$13.00 per ticket

$14.08 per Small Popcorn Combo

$7.20 per Kids Movie Snack Pack
