Delight Hill, event organizer and Just Believe trustee and awareness chair, said funds raised go back to the community, "especially to assist families going through medical emergencies."
Hill said funds will also help with the on-going Sunscreen Dispenser Project. Since 2016, Just Believe has been involved with over 88 sunscreen dispenser placements throughout the Upper Peninsula.
"It was important to my daughter. My daughter passed away after having melanoma stage four brain cancer and it's something she wanted to do, as far as get out and educate people on the dangers of the sun," Hill said. "And also to support the things she was involved in."
