GIANTS' DEOSSIE AND WABC'S CHARLESWORTH HELP KICK OFF CHARITY GOLF

Some local celebrities on Thursday night helped kick off the promotion for the upcoming AV Hero Golf Tournament, which will raise funds in the name of Angelo Vayas to help fight brain cancer.

Vayas, the owner of Village Trattoria and a longtime local business owner, died tragically last year. The golf event in June is aimed at helping to promote efforts to end the brain cancer that took his life and help improve treatment.

To get the word out this week, volunteers flocked to St. James Gate to sell shirts and caps and raise money. Among those in attendance was New York Giant Zak DeOssie and Channel 7 Anchor (and Maplewood resident) Michelle Charlesworth.
