The Mahoning County Democratic Party will be holding a fundraiser Thursday evening to benefit the Youngstown Education Association strike fund, according to a release from the YEA.

The fundraiser will take place Thursday from 5pm to 8pm at the Westside Bowl, and is open to everyone. There is a $20 admission fee for adults, but kids can enter for free. Pizza and soft drinks will be available, as well as a cash bar.

"We really wish to thank the Mahoning County Democratic Party for their support and their efforts in organizing this event. It will be really helpful to all of us, and it also reminds us of the support that we have throughout the community," YEA Spokesperson Jim Courim said. "YEA is very thankful for the support."
