Carmike Cinemas' Sunnyland Cinema 10 Hosting Red Cross Benefit on Saturday, December 7 to Assist Washington, Illinois Tornado Victims


COLUMBUS, Ga. and WASHINGTON, Ill. --(Business Wire)--

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ:CKEC), a leading entertainment, digital cinema and 3-D motion picture exhibitor, today announced the scheduling of a special December 7 (10:00 a.m. local time) community fundraiser that is being co-hosted by the Red Cross at Carmike's Sunnyland Cinema 10 (40 Sunnyland Plaza, Washington, IL 61571).

That morning the Red Cross will collect all monetary donations, which will benefit the many families affected by the tornado that touched down in the Washington area last month.
