This Valentine’s Day, Alamo Drafthouse breaks their personal ads rule by offering Love Notes. Guests can purchase personal Notes (up to 60 characters) to run on the big screen. Proceeds benefit ongoing relief efforts in Puerto Rico and Australia.

Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO Tim League said, “These love notes aren’t just for couples – last year one guy even sent a love note to himself. I’m happy we’re able to harness the power of love to help two very good causes.”

Drafthouse guests who purchase advance tickets for a Valentine’s Day screening before February 7 can also purchase a $5 Love Note. Funds raised are split between UNIDOS Disaster Relief & Recovery Program to Support Puerto Rico, and GlobalGiving’s Australia Wildfire Relief Fund. Alamo Gives will also contribute $5,000 to each cause.

Those who purchase a Love Note are entered into a sweepstakes for a free year of movies at Alamo Drafthouse. Love Notes are available online at drafthouse.com.
