'Strike Out Cancer': Bowl for Yorktown's Relay for Life

Residents are asked to "strike out cancer" and help raise money for Yorktown's Relay for Life, which is now the largest single-community Relay in the tri-state area.

The bowling fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, April 14 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Jefferson Valley Lanes in Yorktown.

Participants can enjoy an evening of bowling with family and friends. The evening will include music, raffles and more.

The cost at the door is a $10 donation to the American Cancer Society, $25 for families of three of more; plus $3 games (includes shoes). A percentage of proceeds is going toward Yorktown's Relay for Life. 

If you are interested in participating, email jscanlon04@gmail.com by April 12. 

Yorktown Relay for Life is scheduled for Friday, June 14 at the Jack DeVito Track and Field in Yorktown. 

This year, the national theme is 'Dream Big, Hope Big, Relay Big,' while the Yorktown theme is 'the Wizard of Oz' because of several rainbows that emerged during last year's Relay for Life, according to Monica Garrigan, a Yorktown resident and senior director of special events for the American Cancer Society. 

Committee members for Relay For Life of Yorktown hope to raise $300,000 this year for the research, programs and services of the American Cancer Society.
