Paul’s Pizza in Westchester and Prima la Pizza in Hillside unite to fight cancer in their own backyard. Paul Gattuso, owner of Paul’s Pizza is a loyal supporter of American Cancer Society Relay For Life event in Westchester. For more than 10 years he has donated his pizza, sound cart, and port-0-potties to ease some operating expenses from the cancer fundraiser. “The expenses he saved us allows us to provide more for cancer patients,” said Summer Jarrette, the Relay For Life volunteer leader. Nick Christopher, co-owner of Prima la Pizza in Hillside, has jumped onboard this year creating an employee team, hosting all team meetings at the restaurant, and donating proceeds of restaurant sales each Monday night to the cause. Relay For Life is an overnight event and for the teams that stay all night long Prima la Pizza will stay open all night too. Participant and the public can dine in all night long and enjoy breakfast pizzas in the morning! Both Gattuso and Christopher have lost loved ones to cancer, and are passionately dedicated to their families and to their communities. This year they will combine efforts for the first time to feed all the cancer survivors at the Relay For Life in Westchester. The Relay For Life will take place on Saturday, June 9 at Mayfair Park. The event starts at 6 pm. All are welcome and cancer survivors will be honored, those that have been lost will be remembered, and we will fight back together in Westchester, Hillside, Broadview, Bellview, Berkley, and Maywood.
