An event is being held in St. Joseph Sunday in an effort to raise funds to help the families of four boys who were killed and another who was critically injured last week in a crash on Riverside.

As we previously reported, four people died and three others were injured after a crash Friday morning on Riverside near the Cook intersection.

A fundraising event titled, “One City One Family” will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday at No Place located at 3414 S. 22nd St.  (Correction): Kelly Supple, is a friend of the family of one of the victim’s and is helping to coordinate things.  She said funds raised will be split-up to benefit the families of the four teens who died: Karlo Ginn, Dayton Crockett (corrected), Dasean Darden and Javion Thompson. Funds will also go to benefit a fifth boy who is still hospitalized in critical condition.

“Anything will help. The funds are pretty much going to go for funeral expenses, a tombstone if they need one.  Anything that the families would need the extra money for,” Supple said. “Obviously in a time of need like this the last thing you want to worry about is the expenses to bury your child.”

During Sunday’s event, participants will be able to listen to live music, take part in a silent auction, a raffle, and view a performance by dancers of Truth Academy and more. Supple said a donation entry fee is requested.

“I’m born and raised in St. Joe, I know the community very well and I’m so proud that St. Joe has come together like they have for these kids,” Supple said. “Even if you didn’t know any of them it’s a tragedy for everybody.”

As of Wednesday, more than 300 people had already RSVP’d to the event on Facebook.  For more information CLICK HERE.
