Westchase families who are ready to spend a day in the park have a date for their calendars.

The third annual Westchase Easter Egg Hunt takes place March 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the West Park Village band shell.

As in years past, the event is a fundraiser that will benefit the Westchase Relay for Life and ultimately the American Cancer Society.

Local high school kids organize the egg hunt, according to the World of Westchase. The hunt itself takes place at 2:30 p.m. and is open to children elementary-aged and younger.

Families are asked to bring their own baskets for the egg hunt and a $10 donation to the cancer society is requested. Last year’s benefit netting nearly $2,000, World of Westchase reported.

This year’s egg hunt features face painting, a bounce house, food, a visit from the Easter Bunny and more, the Relay’s Facebook page states.

Kids can also take part in crafts, games and cookie-decorating.

For more details, email westchaseegghunt@verizon.net  or visit the Relay for Life Westchase Facebook page.

This year’s relay is set for May 10 at Davidsen Middle School, 10501 Montague St. It starts at 6 p.m. and runs through the night.
