Richard Smith has had a song in his heart through much of his life. Now he’ll have a chance to “Sing for Life.”
Smith, 78, will be among the local residents competing in the “Sing for Life” karaoke competition at 6:30 tonight at Rest Haven Convalescent and Retirement Home, 1500 S. Ingram Ave. All proceeds from the event, which will feature children and adults competing for trophies by singing their favorite songs, will go to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
