BOARDMAN

The Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates Boardman Relay for Life team will sponsor a “Saturday Night Fever” bowling event from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday at Camelot Lanes, 728 Boardman-Canfield Road, to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

The $15 admission price covers two hours of bowling and free shoes. A disco-outfit contest, disco music, spinning disco ball and a 50/50 raffle also are planned.

Groups plan event

WARREN

YWCA Warren and Partners for a Peaceful Community are sponsoring a Stand Against Racism event from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday at the YWCA, 375 N. Park Ave.

Mayor Doug Franklin will be guest speaker.

Warren schoolchildren will display art projects that depict how they see racism, and students from the YW’s mentoring program will perform a skit depicting how racism plays a role in our everyday lives.

Refreshments will be provided by the Warren Junior Women’s League.

Partners for a Peaceful Community is a diverse team of organizations and individuals in Trumbull County committed to promoting peace. It was formed after continued senseless violence in the community, including the shooting death of 11-year-old Lloyd McCoy in 2009.
