Breaking Away Screening & Operation Firefly Fundraiser

LACBC is partnering with Laemmle’s NoHo 7 to screen the 1979 cycling classic Breaking Away! Breaking Away tells the story about a bicycle enthusiast in a small college town spending his post-high school summer trying to sort out his future, while chasing after the girl of his dreams, and training for the two biggest races of his life.

When: Wednesday, February 12; 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Where: Laemmle NoHo 7 – 5240 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, 91601 (Take the Red Line or Orange Line there!)
Purchase tickets: The first 50 tickets are being sold here for $9. After that, purchase tickets from Laemmle Theaters for $11.
RSVP and spread the word through our Facebook event.

Proceeds from the screening will benefit Operation Firefly, our education and bike light distribution program intended to make sure people riding bikes in Los Angeles are riding safely at night. A raffle will also accompany the screening and will include a replica Cinzano cycling kit from Pella Sportswear, along with gift certificates/prizes from local NoHo businesses.

Support LACBC in what we do best: Making the communities of L.A. County healthy, safe, and fun places to bike!
