Macomb County Charity 13 Forever Fights Childhood Cancer
The 2nd Annual Bag Childhood Cancer Benefit from the Macomb County Charity 13 Forever was held at the Eastside’s Great Shots Backyard Bar & Games in Clinton Township. To say we raised the bar this year was an underestimate.

Cornhole Tournament Games
Last year we had 45 players and this year we had 107 all battling it out on many cornhole boards. The Bar Great Shots is a cornhole center. No longer just a backyard sport. This is the place to be for fun and friendly competition. Plus ice cold drinks and making some new friends.
I played four games with different partners. For the record I was a bit rusty as in game 1 the score was 21-0, game 2 21-1. In games #3 & 4 I was in a groove as won both games with the help of good partners to finish up at .500 for the night and #72 place. The mood was incredible, or maybe the tequila but everyone had a great night.

Who Is The Group 13 Forever?
Justin Townsend was a happy and carefree 12-year-old looking forward to starting junior high when he started experiencing debilitating headaches in September 2013. Justin was diagnosed with Glioblastoma-Multiforme, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.
After losing Justin, Roy Townsend knew they had to do something to help other families going through the same nightmare.
In 2022, they founded 13Forever, a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving back to numerous cancer organizations and research facilities. We hope that through our efforts, we can make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. We know that our son Justin would be proud of the work that we are doing to honor his memory and help others.
Roy Townsend The Director Of The American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO)
Roy Townsend says, “Statistics indicate that childhood cancer is on the rise.” “The number of brain tumors appearing in children is continuing to increase and there has been very little pharmaceutical development for childhood cancer in the last 25 years.” That said, 13forever is raising money for Koschmann Lab and its Precision Medicine Therapy.

Detroit Autorama History
Location, Location, Location
The first Detroit Autorama was held at The University of Detroit Memorial Building (today’s Calihan Hall) on January 31 and February 1, 1953, with only 40 cars. It was hosted by members of the Michigan Hot Rod Association (MHRA), which was made up of smaller clubs at the time such as The Motor City Modifieds, Bearing Burners, Spark Plugs, The Road Kings, Shifters, and Milwinders.
The Michigan State Fairgrounds Coliseum was home to Autorama from 1954 to 1960.
In 1961 , the 9th Annual Detroit Autorama was the first to be held at the new Cobo Hall (today’s Huntington Place). That year featured a new-record: 230 cars displayed in Cobo’s basement. The show started to gain national attention and attract car creators like George Barris (The Original Batmobile, The Monkee Mobile, etc. ), Darryl Starbird, Carl Casper, and “Big Daddy” Ed Roth. The 2024 Autorama features 5 generations of Gotham City vehicles including the original Batmobile.
