“From international animations to nostalgic, classic family films, our series offers something for everyone,” said Athena Cinema Director Alexandra Kamody.

Kamody noted that the primary purpose of the “BEAT THE HEAT” series is to give back to both the greater Athens community and area children’s organizations. In fact, all admissions revenues for each event will be donated to a different local organization. 

“We’re excited to offer this event and encourage everyone to come out and support our initiative, take advantage of local shopping and dining and enjoy a fun summer event with friends and family,” Kamody said.
