Mon Health and Mylan Park Host First Responders Appreciation Night

MORGANTOWN, WV (September 4, 2020) – Originally scheduled to end in early August, the free movie series partnership between Mylan Park and Mon Health was extended into early September to provide more socially distanced entertainment for families. The series will conclude on September 5 with a special occasion supporting our local first responders.

In honor of September 11th, the movie night scheduled for September 5 will be First Responder Appreciation Night and the movie shown will be Onward, one of Disney’s newest releases. First Responders will receive several gifts throughout the evening, including free popcorn and beverages at the concession stand, sponsored by Building & Construction Trades Council of NCWV, and four guest passes per family to utilize at Mylan Park facilities. Children are also invited to dress like a First Responder that evening to show support for local heroes.

“We work nonstop to protect the health and safety of all workers who are on the frontlines,” said Natalie Stone, Executive Director of Building & Construction Trades Council of NCWV. “We are thrilled to be a part of this very special night to celebrate our local first responders.”

The movie night is free, open to the public and begins at 7:30 p.m. The event will comply with the current CDC and local COVID-19 guidelines, requiring guests to wear masks upon entry to the track. Once situated and socially distanced, masks may be removed while enjoying the movie. Concessions will be available as guests are prohibited from bringing outside food and beverages; no coolers are permitted. It is also recommended that guests bring their own seating or blankets to enjoy the film comfortably.

“We are excited to extend the movie series in a unique way,” said David Goldberg, President and CEO of Mon Health System. “By hosting a First Responders Appreciation Night, we are able to host a fun night for families while also showing appreciation for our local heroes. We look forward to continuing to work alongside Mylan Park in bringing needed programs and opportunities like this to families in the area.”
