13Forever is a local nonprofit that was founded by a Macomb County family who lost their 13-year-old son to an aggressive brain tumor. They have made it their mission to help in the fight against childhood cancer in honor of their son, Justin Townsend.
Tickets for the BBQ fundraiser cost $50 each. Organizers say the cost includes dinner, five bourbon tickets and a chance to win four front row seats to a Detroit Tigers game.
