Dr. AC’s annual Scare-A-Thon is upon us once again, as he does his part to help the community through watching horror movies! As he puts it, it is Caring through Scaring! His goal is to not only watch 31 movies in 31 days, but to help show diversity, he is picking 31 movies from 31 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! How’s that for going above and beyond!

Each year, AC choosing an organization that he feels not only needs the money, but also some more attention for the fine work they are doing. This year’s recipient is Albany Park Theater Project. When AC was telling me about this theater group, it had me really intrigued. The group is a a teen ensemble and adult artistic team that “amplifies and illuminates the voices and experiences of our immigrant and first-generation community.”

Created in 1997, works in “telling the stories of people whose voices are not always heard in ways that respect and honor them.” What a great way to help the next generation have a chance of making the needed changes we need today, as well as maybe possibly teaching something to their audience.

So this is how YOU can help. You pledge an amount per movie that AC plans on watching. So if you were to pledge $.25 a movie, that would be a total of $7.75 for the month. Pledging a $1 would be $31 for the month. Everyone can spare a buck a day, right? Give and support the people that are working to make a positive change.
