Willow Glen Middle School teacher Erin McGee is holding a fundraiser to send children to Camp Okizu. The fundraiser, now in its fifth year, will be a barbecue and silent auction at Saratoga Springs, 22801 Big Basin Way, on May 17 from noon to 3 p.m.

Proceeds will help send children to Camp Okizu, a special camp for children with cancer and their families.

The camp's purpose is to provide medically supervised recreational therapy in a supportive, loving atmosphere for the children and their families.

Tickets for the event are $50. For more information about attending the barbecue fundraiser, email McGee at okizufundraiser2003@yahoo.com. The phone number for Saratoga Springs is 408.867.3016.
