Samantha Tavares has watched as her grandmother, Shelli Knox has gone through treatment for breast cancer.  But rather than just watching, the teen has decided to do something about it.

She started planning a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at Fairhaven’s Bayside Lounge. She will decorate the tables with tablecloths in different colors that symbolize different types of cancer. All the funds from the dinner will be donated to the American Cancer Society to research the various forms of cancer.

The dinner will take place Feb. 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. The $10 tickets can be bought at the door.
