Memphis-based Malco Theatres is pleased to announce that the 2026 Midweek at the Malco generated over $30,000 for local children’s hospitals across the Mid-South.
The weekly summer program kicked off June 3, featuring a different family-favorite film on screen through July 29 at theatres in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri, and Louisiana. Each participating location also had an auditorium dedicated to Sensory Cinema, with lights up and sound down.
The ever-popular annual event has been part of the area’s summer calendar for over 30 years. Beneficiaries of the 2026 program included Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital (Memphis, TN), Arkansas Children’s Hospital (Little Rock, AR), Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital (Jackson, MS), Norton Children’s Hospital (Louisville, KY), Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt (Nashville, TN), Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, and ALSAC/St. Jude.
The 2027 program is already in the planning stages, with the schedule to be released in the spring.
