July 29, 2008 - PRLog -- The Carolina RailHawks Soccer Team Joins XIOS Authentic Greek Cuisine to Raise
                                      Money for Childhood Cancer Research

                                 Dozens to shave heads bald for Pediatric Cancer


Dozens of men and women are expected to shave their heads bald to show solidarity to children with cancer and to raise money for childhood cancer research on Saturday, September 13th at XIOS Authentic Greek Cuisine in Apex.  

Those shaving their heads will be enthusiastically cheered on by crowds of friends, celebrity barbers, doctors, family, nurses, children and others who have been touched by cancer to further awareness to the fact that pediatric cancer, the #1 disease killer of children, is terribly under-funded.

Fun and free activities for the entire family include clowns, magicians, face painters, balloon animals, and special appearances by your favorite RailHawks Soccer players and their mascot, Swoops.  For information about how to participate in the head-shaving event, go to www.StBaldricks.org and click on “Be a Shavee.”

When:  Saturday, September 13, 2008 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where:  XIOS Authentic Greek Cuisine, 800 W. Williams Street off of Highway 55 in Apex

The Greek island of XIOS (pronounced khi-os), home to our family for generations, is known for its polite and peaceful residents who welcome visitors and guests with kindness and hospitality. We apply these same principles to preparing and serving traditional Greek cuisine, often paired with Greek wines of superior quality, at our family-owned and operated restaurant.

We enjoy preparing serving meals in a comfortable setting - old-world dishes with fresh and familiar ingredients that everybody knows. Xios Authentic Greek Cuisine offers a gathering spot for sharing meals with family, friends and co-workers. Some of our guests enjoy spending a romantic evening on our outdoor patio watching the sunset and sharing Mezethes (appetizers), while others prefer to linger over traditional Greek dishes, such as Mousaka or Kotopoula in our dining room.
