The Michigan State Police are teaming up with local businesses to host the MI Help for Hurricane Relief.
This fundraiser will be held this Sunday, October 8, in Lansing.
MSP, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division are partnering with Battleball Lansing, Hope Sports Complex and 101.7 Mike FM to host the fundraiser at the Hope Sports Complex on Sunday.
