The Relay For Life of Dearborn Spaghetti Dinner brings people together to enjoy good food and good company for a great cause.
In anticipation of the April 30th Relay For Life, the Dearborn planning committee, working with representatives from Fr. Patrick O’Kelley Knights of Columbus Hall, is hosting an all you can eat dinner buffet benefiting the American Cancer Society on Sunday, March 27th from noon to 6 p.m. The fundraiser is well attended and open during times to accommodate both lunch and dinner patrons.
The success of the spaghetti dinner is due to the support of dozens of teams volunteering to bake goods for the dessert bake sale, solicit and donate silent auction items, sell tickets and volunteer to work shifts throughout the day. The Dearborn community is encouraged to bring their families to spend some time with 2011 teams and meet cancer survivors and caregivers. Tickets are available now or can be purchased at the door.
“Through events like the Spaghetti Dinner, we’re able to reach out to people in the community, talk about cancer and give hope to patients currently battling the disease – all in a relaxed, fun environment,” says Vice-Chair Alysia Schuler.
The Relay For Life of Dearborn supports the Society’s mission to save lives by helping people stay well, get well and by finding cures and fighting back. This inspiring overnight event unites the entire Dearborn community in the common goal of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
Planning for the Relay For Life of Dearborn has become a year round effort organized by a dedicated group of volunteers who focus on increasing cancer awareness in the Dearborn community while raising funds for the American Cancer Society. The Society reports 142 people in Michigan are diagnosed with cancer everyday, 30 of whom are from Wayne County. Participating in the Relay For Life of Dearborn is one way to help those people get well, bringing them closer to programs and services offered by the American Cancer Society.
The Relay For Life of Dearborn will take place on April 30 – May1, 10 am-10 am at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. Visit www.relayforlife.org/dearbornmi for more information or contact event chairperson Denise Abdullah at deniseabdullah@hotmail.com, 313.522.8785.
