Nanuet Stadium’s preview events include $2 movies, popcorn and soft drinks with proceeds going to local charities. “Sunday Fun Day at Regal” will benefit Meals on Wheels and feature family oriented films such as Safe Haven. On Monday, “Regal Cares” showcases movies with positive messages including Iron Man 3 3D for the benefit of the People to People Food Pantry.
