Madison Cinemas and Madison Beach Hotel Partner On Food Bank Donation

Thanks to the generosity of Madison Cinemas’ new owners Harold Blank and William Dougherty, all proceeds from a matinee shown during Madison Beach Hotel’s recent Blues Fest Weekend were donated to Madison Food Pantry.

Madison Beach Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, a AAA Four Diamond Award-winning boutique resort and Top Performer for the Hilton brand, hosted its annual Blues Fest Weekend March 11-12, 2022.

A Saturday afternoon matinee was shown at Madison Cinemas featuring the original, classic, “Blues Brothers” with Jim Belushi and Aykroyd.

Tickets were $10 per person and raised nearly $1,000 for the Madison Food Pantry.

“In an effort to make it a community event, I reached out to Harold Blank to see if he would be willing to feature The Blues Brothers as a Saturday matinee on March 12,” said General Manager John Mathers. “I suggested we could make it a fund-raiser for the Madison Food Pantry.”

Mathers said, “Harold not only enthusiastically agreed but offered to donate all net ticket revenue and match it dollar for dollar.”
