News Brief: Cancer Fundraiser Tonight at Ruby's Diner

The day is half over, and it's time to think about dinner. If you're interested in eating a nice meal and helping a great cause, stop by Ruby's Diner in Corona del Mar. 

The Fight Cancer with the Cops event will be held tonight, from 5 to 9 p.m., at Ruby's Diner on East Coast Highway. Customers will be served by Newport Beach Police Officers and Newport Beach Explorers, also known as the 911 Blue Crew. In return, Ruby’s Diner will donate 20 percent of the night’s proceeds to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life campaign. 

"The 911 Blue Crew is hoping to raise a total of $5,000 to donate to the American Cancer Society," said Sgt. Steve Burdette, of the Newport Beach Police Department.

The 10th annual Newport Beach Relay for Life is sponsored by the American Cancer Society and will take place Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, at Newport Harbor High School. To participate in the Ruby's fundraiser, bring a flier with you and present it to the server. Fliers are available at the Police Department, City Hall, or by contacting Sgt. Shontel Sherwood at 949-644-3775.
