BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The sights, sounds and scents of Christmas are filling the air at Roswell Park.

Some young cancer survivors from Carly's Club for kids and cancer research played the part of judges for this year's Tree of Hope gingerbread contest. The top prize went to the Super Mario Brothers' Raceway. It was Roosevelt Starkey's clear favorite.

Starkey grinned, "First, well, I have the game and he's my favorite guy!"

"Roosevelt was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma last year and the different programs have helped our family a lot," said Roosevelt's mom, Shirley Jones.
