Tucson J film screening to raise awareness, funds for special abilities initiative

The Tucson Jewish Community Center will present a screening of the independent film, “Keep the Change,” on Thursday, April 19 at 7 p.m. A performance by the Sparks Cheerleaders will be the opening act for the film, a romantic comedy about two young adults on the autism spectrum. All of the actors in the film who play a character with a disability, actually have a disability.

The cost of the film screening and Sparks performance is $5. The event will raise awareness and funds to support the community’s special abilities initiative, coordinated by Allison Wexler.

Tickets are available at tucsonjcc.org/event/keepthechange or at the door, or call 299-3000.
