The group 13Forever was founded by Justin's family. They've created the Team J-Bird Golf Classic to honor his memory and benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The 4th annual event will be held on Saturday, October 5, at the Bello Woods Golf Course in Macomb Township, and they're looking for golfers to participate.
Roy Townsend, Justin's father, and Jackie Townsend, Justin's sister, spoke with 7 News Detroit about the golf classic and the work they do in the fight against pediatric cancer.
