While moviegoers came out to enjoy music from radio station 104.3MYFM, they were also challenged to “transform” kid’s lives by donating new unwrapped toys.
In return, participants received AMC, IMAX and “Transformers” prizes. Special items included season passes to SpeedZone and gift cards to local stores.
The charity event was just part of the grand opening of the IMAX theater at Puente Hills Mall.







“[I]n the Amazon,” observes actress and narrator Linda Hunt, “reality is more amazing than mythology.”
