$18 per person

All funds go to FightMND.

Join a screening of the cult classic Spaceballs to raise much needed funds for FightMND.

In 2013, the organiser lost their dad, Ian, from MND. In his memory, they are raising funds and participating in this year's FightMND Daniher's Drive to raise funds and awareness to defeat the beast.

Help them celebrate their dad's memory and raise some funds as they enjoy one of his all-time favourites, Spaceballs. In a distant galaxy, planet Spaceball has depleted its air supply, leaving its citizens reliant on a product called Perri-Air. On the peaceful planet Druidia, King Roland attempts to marry his daughter Princess Vespa to Prince Valium, but Vespa and her loyal droid Dot Matrix escape during her wedding.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
