Disco Bowling is offering a variety of prizes such as $100 for the best-themed outfit, $200 for Top Score, $100 for second place and $50 for third place. There is also a silent auction for trips to Barbados and Antigua and other items.
The fundraiser takes place Friday, Jan. 12, beginning at 7 p.m., at Academy Lanes, 725 S. Main St., Haverhill. Tickets are $20 per person and may be purchased online.
Benedetti worked in social services for more than two decades. A majority of her work was spent advocating for children in Haverhill and surrounding towns. She lost her battle with metastatic breast cancer on May 30, 2019.
