NIKKI Webster was catapulted to stardom at the age of 13 when she performed at the opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

She recently came back into the spotlight after releasing her single Devilicious in June.

But it’s not all about showbiz for the pop sensation.

Webster, 22, will help host Fairfield’s Relay for Life launch at Siena’s Italian Restaurant in Wetherill Park on Saturday along with Adriana Xenides.

“I do a lot of charity work. I’m an ambassador for the Paint a Rainbow Foundation and I help out with Camp Quality,” Webster said.

“I wanted to help out with Relay For Life because I enjoy giving something back to the community.”

The launch will feature a dinner and auction and organisers hope to raise more than $15,000 for the Cancer Council.

Items to be auctioned off on the night include a violin signed by the Three Tenors and Grease memorabilia signed by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

“I’m really looking forward to it … I hope people dig deep,” Webster said.

This year’s Fairfield Relay for Life will be held at Brenan Park, Smithfield.

The launch event will will be held at Siena’s Event Centre, above the restaurant at The Horsley Drive, Wetherill Park on August 8 from 6.30pm.

Tickets cost $100 a person and include a three-course meal and drinks.

Bookings: 0409 644 491.
