The annual Batavia High School Talent Show, featuring performances from both students and faculty, will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the school's auditorium. It's located at 260 State St. in the City of Batavia.

Thomas Ackley, a first-grader with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, is this year's beneficiary.

He is now in remission, but has about six months of treatment ahead of him to make sure the cancer does not return. Emotionally and financially, he and his family continue to struggle.

That is why Batavia High School students, under the supervision of chorus teacher Dan Grillo, are giving all the proceeds from their upcoming Talent Show to the Ackley family.
