PACE — This weekend, to celebrate “Star Trek Beyond,” fans of the TV and movie franchise will raise funds for a homeless children’s shelter.
Attendees seeing a movie at Ridge Cinema 8 in Pace can participate in the “Star Wars” vs. “Star Trek” contest and donate toward their favorite science fiction franchise.
Members of the Milton-based U.S.S. Harry Mudd — named after a “Star Trek” character — will collect donations throughout the weekend at the theater. Donations for each option will be counted on Sunday. The same day, members will announce which fan-favorite franchise received the most donations.
All proceeds will benefit For the Children of Milton, a nonprofit organization renovating a 7,000-square-foot house for a homeless shelter.
Fans also can be photographed, at no charge, sitting in a replica “Star Trek” captain’s chair.
