Legend of the Guardians - The Owls of Ga’Hoole
Movie Theaters across NY state
In partnership with The Autism Society, AMC Entertainment brings AMC Sensory Friendly Films to families affected by autism on a monthly basis to select communities.
The Owls of Ga’Hoole: Soren, a young barn owl, is kidnapped by owls of St. Aggie's, ostensibly an orphanage, where owlets are brainwashed. He and his new friends escape to the island of Ga'Hoole, to assist its noble, wise owls who fight the army being created by the wicked rulers of St. Aggie's. The film is based on the first three books in the series.
The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!
The idea for the program began with a request from a parent with an autistic child for a special screening at AMC Columbia Mall 14 in Columbia, MD. More than 300 children and parents attended the first screening.
We are thrilled to now offer the program at many locations nationwide — please visit website for a complete list of participating theatres. As a leading theatrical exhibition company, we are so proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a movie together — often for the very first time. See NY theaters at http://www.amcentertainment.com/SFF/

For over 100 years, the Humane Society of New York has been a presence in New York City, caring for animals in need when illness, injury or homelessness strikes. In 1904 we were founded to protect the city's horses against abuse. Members fought for laws to punish negligent owners and place watering troughs in streets and parks. As funds allowed the Society expanded to include a free medical clinic and a small adoption center for cats and dogs. Today our hospital and our Vladimir Horowitz and Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Adoption Center help more than 30,000 dogs and cats annually, and their numbers continue to grow.

Chase the loneliness away. Our pet therapy program is proof of what scientists are only just now publicly recognizing as a clinical fact: animals can help people feel and get better.
The SPCA began this program in 1990, believing that people's mental and physical well-being often improve when they have a chance to interact with animals.
Every day, SPCA volunteers take specially trained Shelter dogs or their own dogs to visit the institutionalized in over 40 Westchester facilities, including nursing and retirement homes, hospitals, and group homes and day care centers for the developmentally disabled and mentally ill.
The visits give patients a link to the outside world and serve as catalysts for conversation, physical therapy, and friendship.
Because the SPCA is a non-profit organization, it relies solely on donations and volunteers to support Golden Outreach. The Shelter actively seeks sponsors for individual dogs chosen as Outreach pets. Sponsors of Golden Outreach can have the personal satisfaction of knowing that their support is helping dogs help people. The program also has the added benefit of making specially trained SPCA Shelter dogs more adoptable.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or sponsoring a Shelter dog as an Outreach pet, click here to print and mail us your application, or click here to fill in an online application that will be emailed to us.
