Fundraiser to help with cost of grave markers
Check out our Motown Memorial Fundraiser on 3/29.
If you want to help John Milroy , the local musician who's been raising money for the unmarked graves of Detroit music greats, he's set a Motown Memorial Benefit for 9:30 p.m., March 29 at O'Mara's on 12 Mile & Coolidge in Berkley to raise money. With the help of donations from around the world, Motown drummer Uriel Jones ' gravesite at Woodlawn Cemetery is now marked. "My wife and I ended up paying for [[Motown crooner) Marv Johnson 's," Milroy said. Now they hope to recoup those funds and use anything left over to pay for markers for more Motown icons. A donation of $10 is requested, there will be live music by rocking soul band Even Exchange , and raffles of items donated by Motown and more.
