Cancer: Take notice. Your days are numbered.
The Dude Hates Cancer arrived in Buffalo last year after six successful campaigns in Philadelphia, ready to take root in the Queen city. And take root it did. Twenty-nine teams participated and raised over $30,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society-- a terrific start to what will surely become one of the area's top bowling fundraisers.
