ABOUT MR. BATAVIA: <\/strong>Ten seniors from Batavia High School competed for the title of \u201cMr. Batavia\u201d at the 10th annual competition on Friday, April 21, in the Frank E. Owen Auditorium at Batavia High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students competed in multiple rounds of the event, and donations raised from ticket sales and direct donations will be given to the top three winners\u2019 charities. Since 2013, the annual event has raised more than $37,000 for local organizations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a student-run event and a wonderful way for our students to give back to the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot have this event without our community support including Charles Men\u2019s Shop, Extreme Streetwear, Beverly’s Florist and Gift Shop, Main Street Pizza, Blink of an Eye Photography, Steve Ognibene Photography, and participating charities for their work in our community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
