Pathfinder Fundraiser
This January 2024, Rich Aguilera is releasing his new movie, THE SECRET OF THE FOSSIL, specifically for Pathfinder clubs all over North America to host a PREMIERE movie fundraising event to help clubs going to Gillette.
THE SECRET OF THE FOSSIL is a fun, family-friendly movie with a powerful spiritual message. The great thing is it was produced with a distinct “Pathfinder flavor.” One of the characters is a Pathfinder, plus two clubs are featured in the movie, and even cameo appearances from notable world Pathfinder leaders, including Ron Whitehead, Andres Peralta, Armando Miranda, Busi Khumalo, and more! He even wrote the Pathfinder AND Adventurer DINOSAUR honor/award requirements into the story!
Don't miss this rare opportunity! Be one of the clubs that will PREMIERE this movie in your community in January! Clubs can even use this as a CLUB evangelism tool as well.
For clubs to host their own PREMIERE of the movie for fundraising, leaders must register on the website before October 31. During Nov/Dec, a professional marketing team will start working with clubs to plan/promote a successful fundraising event strategy for their PREMIERE, which needs to be any day in January so that the entire Division is moving together on this project.
Get more information, watch the first trailer, and register by visiting www.AdventistMovies.com.
