The Lighthouse Restaurant, located at Fisherman’s Wharf, 7 Anglers Road, Lewes, is offering the restaurant’s pavilion area as the site for an American Cancer Society (ACS) benefit on Sunday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Spruce Up for Spring and Summer: Caring for the Mind, Body and Soul,” is the theme of the ACS Relay for Life 2008 fundraising event, as vendors from across Sussex and Kent counties bring their products, information and expertise in hopes of raising contributions and awareness for cancer patients and caregivers.
Paul and Mary Buchness, owners and operators of the Lighthouse Restaurant, are longtime supporters of ACS Relay for Life. According to Paul Buchness, the eatery donated to Relay for Life in past to help advance the society’s mission.
Since opening its doors in 1982, the Lighthouse Restaurant has aimed to uphold the philosophy to “take care of you and yours.” The restaurant’s open-for-business season runs from March through October. During the March 16 benefit, the Lighthouse will maintain usual business hours, beginning with breakfast served at 8 a.m., followed by lunch and dinner. Known for serving fresh seafood, the Lighthouse is also known for its homemade sticky buns and baked breads, organizers noted.
The ACS Relay for Life 2008 benefit is open to the public. Along with ACS information booths, vendors will offer an array of specialty products, from skin care to chocolates, handbags to spring and summer house-ware gifts and more.
According to ACS, “Relay for Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and community programs.”
Those programs include Reach to Recovery, National Cancer Information Center, Road to Recovery Volunteer Drivers, Clinical Trials, Look Good… Feel Better, Hope Lodging and Champion Scholarship Program.
