Mr. Batavia Contest, community charity fundraiser at BHS

The fourth annual Mr. Batavia fundraiser will be held on Friday April 15th at 7 p.m. in the Batavia High School Auditorium. This is a student run event sponsored by Batavia High School Student Government. We have 12 senior contestants and each contestant has chosen to represent a different local charity.  All of the money raised from ticket sales at the event will go to the winner’s charity. Last year, we raised just over $3,000 for Genesee Cancer Assistance;  $2,200 was raised for Habitat for Humanity the year before; and our first year just over $1,700 was raised for Genesee Cancer Assistance.  We are hoping to surpass these amounts this year. We will also be splitting the winnings over the top three winners to hopefully be able to reach out to even more in our community.
