Plans for West Seneca Relay for Life 2012 Under Way

“Lights, camera, cure.”

That’s the tagline for this year’s Relay for Life of West Seneca, which has a theme of “Hollywood.” Relay for Life is looking for volunteers to participate in this year’s event, which raises funds for the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life is a family friendly fundraiser featuring teams that gather around a track and organize their own fundraising booths. Members of each team take turns walking around the track throughout the event. Food, games and other activities provide entertainment and additional fundraising opportunities.

Relay for Life of West Seneca is set for noon to midnight Saturday, June 16 at the track at West Seneca East Senior High School, 4760 Seneca St.

More than 200 dinners were served. Families were seated at tables named after Italian cities by student hostesses and hosts who served dinners, lemonade and desserts to generous patrons listening to classical Italian music.
