Tully Moms Night Out Event Celebrating the Upcoming Movie Nationwide Release

Movies

MBE partnered with Focus Features for this post

If you have kids and need a break from the chaos, there's nothing like a fun Mom's Night Out with your women friends, right? To celebrate the upcoming movie Tully (Focus Features, 2018), that's exactly what I got to do with fellow mom influencers from around the U.S., both good friends I've known for years, like Jennifer at Real Mom of SFV, as well as meeting some new colleagues.

The occasion this time around was a fun cocktail party event. Hosted by Focus Features and Refinery 29 just for us at the national historic landmark Culver Hotel built in 1924 in Culver City, California. 

This was a care free night out with female friends (including some who aren't mothers) to enjoy wonderful movie-themed signature cocktails like The Marlo pictured below, made with Casamigos Tequila, Pamplemousse Liqueur, simple syrup and lime and The Tully, made with Tito's Vodka, lavender honey, and lemon juice. 

To go along with the creative drinks there were plentiful sweets and savory bites, a photo booth, and of course -- moms on their smartphones showing off their families and talking about our kids with each other.

The pre-party was just what us moms needed to unwind and get ready to kick back in the theater. This casual gathering was followed by an advanced press only screening of the new movie Tully, scheduled for release nationwide on May 4th. What a surprise it was when the entire Tully cast walked on stage at the screening just before the film started rolling.

About Tully
With Jason Reitman (Juno, Young Adult) at the helm as director, Tully debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The script, written by Producer Diablo Cody, is inspired by her own first-hand struggles and experiences as the mom of three. The comedy/drama stars Charlize Theron as Marlo the haggard mommy of two young kids plus a newborn. Rounding out the headliners in the cast are Mackenzie Davis as Tully, the young night nanny; Mark Duplass as Craig (Marlo's brother); and Ron Livingston as Drew, Marlo's husband. Rated R, 1 hour 36 minutes, from Focus Features.

FTC Disclosure: Focus Features hosted Mommy Blog Expert at a special event and advance screening, in addition to a special mom influencer press conference, prior to the movie's release to facilitate the associated movie review.

Hospitalized Kids Nationwide Benefit Lollipop Theater Network Superhero Walk

Community

#LollipopSuperHeroWalk

Nothing is better than sharing ways to make the world a better place while also inspiring us all to be good role models for our children. That's why I can't contain my enthusiasm about inviting Southern California kids, moms and dads in the Los Angeles area to join in an awesome family fun activity. The event takes place Sunday, April 29th for a very good cause: the 2nd Annual Superhero Walk hosted by non-profit Lollipop Theater Network at Pan Pacific Park in LA.  Not going to be in the local area? Not to worry. You can still join in all the excitement using the hashtag #LollipopSuperHeroWalk on social.

Working with major studios, like Sony Pictures Entertainment and more, as well as others in the entertainment industry, Lollipop Theater Network's overall mission as a non-profit organization is to bring the magic of current big screen movies to pediatric patients in hospitals nationwide. That way, through in-hospital programming, seriously ill boys and girls never have to miss the same films their friends and siblings are seeing in theaters. The Lollipop Superhero Walk is just one of all the things they do to make a real difference in very sick kids' lives.

Family Fun - Bring the Kids

Every guest (both adults and kids) participating in this worthwhile awareness and fundraising walk event receives a cape upon arrival. Super hero fans, young and old, are also welcome to bring their own personal favorites to wear. Everyone will then walk together to celebrate the real superheroes we all look up to: hospitalized children!

In addition, Lollipop has partnered with the Costume Designers Guild to create completely accessorized superhero costumes this year for eight extra special patients from local Los Angeles hospitals.

Celebrities Scheduled 

Among the entertainment industry celebrities slated to walk along with the public are Katie Lowes (Scandal), Colton Haynes and Echo Kellum (Arrow), Billy Bush and Parker Bates (This is Us), Mason Cook (Speechless), Soni Bringas (Fuller House), Sam Lerner and Jacob Hopkins (The Goldbergs), Rebecca Mader (Once Upon a Time), Sean Ryan Fox and Cooper Barnes (Henry Danger), Emery Kelly (Alexa & Katie), Jillian Rose Reed (Elena of Avalor), Jake Allyn (The Quad), and Lillimar (Knight Squad). 

Also on hand: Costume Designers Guild Designers Kym Barrett, Michael Crow, Kristi Hoffman, Camille Jumelle, Arefeh Mansouri, Maranda Nichols, Gabrielle Sciabbarrasi, and Ariyela Wald-Cohain.

Event Details

Following the one hour walk, there will be an after-party with food, beverages, photo booth, music, games and other activities to enjoy. The 2nd Annual LOLLIPOP Superhero Walk is made possible thanks to generous support from Dolby Laboratories, Cinemark Theater, Sony Pictures Entertainment, IMAX Entertainment, McCann Systems, New Line Cinema and Paramount Pictures. Special thanks to the Costume Designers Guild, Evolution LA, EPK.TV, Prestige Princesses, and Central Talent Booking
