Participants will get ziti with homemade meat sauce, a tossed salad, bread and butter, soft drink and dessert for $10, or $5 for children under 10. Dinners will be available to eat in or take out.

Proceeds benefit Alan Savko, who is living with cerebral palsy and in need of a new wheelchair van to replace his existing vehicle, which is 25 years old, a spokeswoman said.

Savko has had cerebral palsy since birth and now requires the chair to get around, the spokeswoman said.
