The event will be held at Breakaway Billiards in Clinton MA on Saturday, May 5th at 8pm.

Anyone desiring to “fight back” may do so by participating in our event or by visiting our website at www.willieswarriors.org  Many local business have reached out supporting this cause. Lydia Vazquez states “Events like this cannot happen without the help of small businesses and the community”. Please visit our website for a list of our sponsors. Attending the event or making a donation helps the American Cancer Society achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against the disease.

The event will be hosted by Willie’s Warriors. An organization created by Lydia Vazquez who currently resides in Lancaster MA. She created the group to remember her father, Wilfredo Vazquez-Pol who lost his 10 year battle against cancer on April 8, 2010. This event marks the 8th year anniversary of his death. Lydia Vazquez and Breakaway Billiards have been hosting this event for 8 years. Lydia states “The event is successful because it is not just about my dad, we honor several other “Warriors”, all local members of the community, we all come out to remember many of our loved one through this group. Lydia Vazquez is the Assistant Vice President of Residential Lending at Leominster Credit Union.
